Apache Kafka

Apache Kafka is the leading streaming platform to build real-time data pipelines and event-driven architectures. With high throughput, durability, and horizontal scalability, it can process millions of events per second.

Itrion operates 120 Kafka clusters, manages 3.2 billion messages daily, and maintains an end-to-end latency under 15 ms with a 99.95% SLA.
