Kafka Brokers

  • Cluster Composition:

    • A Kafka cluster is composed of multiple brokers (servers).
    • Each broker is identified by a unique ID.
    • Each broker contains certain topic partitions.

  • Connection Mechanism:

    • Connecting to any broker (called a bootstrap broker) gives access to the entire cluster.
    • Kafka clients use smart mechanisms to handle connections across the cluster.

  • Cluster Size:

    • A good starting point is 3 brokers, but large clusters can have up to 100 brokers.
