Let's learn about Message Broker - RabbitMQ and Kafka

#Kafka #RabbitMQ #MessageBroker In this video, we looked at two types of Message Brokers, RabbitMQ and Kafka. A Message Broker isolates producers and consumers from each other to prevent data loss and facilitates horizontal scaling. RabbitMQ stores messages in a queue form. This queue holds messages in a first in, first out manner, and removes messages from the queue whenever a consumer requests a message. This method is called 'smart broker, dumb consumer'. On the other hand, Kafka stores messages on disk in log form. Messages within the log are not deleted once sent, and consumers access the messages they need using offsets. This method is called 'dumb broker, smart consumer'. RabbitMQ and Kafka each have their pros and cons, and which one to choose depends on the characteristics of the service you need.
