Hi Everyone, My name is Collin Lee and I'm a PhD Student in Computer Science at Stanford University doing some research on notification systems. I'm studying how applications are structured around systems like Kafka and so I'd love you know how you all use Kafka.
If you are up for it, I'd love to hear from you about how Kafka fits into your applications. Here is a short list of questions: 1) What is the high-level description of your application? 2) What role does Kafka play in your application? What is your use case? Messaging? Log Aggregation? Stream Processing? Etc. 3) In your application, what are the producers and consumers? 4) Are there any metrics you can provide? Number of producers/consumers/topics? Producer/consumer throughput? 5) Which properties of Kafka do you rely on? Message ordering? Persistence? Etc. Thanks so much for your time. Best, Collin
