How do I run Apache Kafka on Kubernetes?

Apache Kafka is a distributed data streaming platform that is a popular event processing choice. It can handle publishing, subscribing to, storing, and processing event streams in real-time. Apache Kafka supports a range of use cases where high throughput and scalability are vital, and by minimizing the need for point-to-point integrations for data sharing in certain applications, it can reduce latency to milliseconds.

Deploy Red Hat AMQ Streams and Fuse on OpenShift Container Platform 4

Red Hat AMQ is a message broker for building communications among Java applications. Message-based applications are a key core capability of modern software development, and AMQ provides a solid foundation for building them. 

The Streams module, which is based on the Apache Kafka and Strimzi projects, runs on Linux, macOS and Windows. The module also supports the publish/subscribe messaging method, better for containers. There are also Debezium Change Data Capture connectors that are used to capture row-level database changes and communicate these changes to your apps.
