In this tutorial, you'll delve into the mechanics of Kafka and then integrate it with Go to develop a realtime notification system. I am trying to understand how Kafka can be used for real time notification.Let's say I have a kafka topic for alerting purposes. This document discusses using Apache Kafka at scale to deliver realtime notifications. This stepbystep guide will help you set up a messaging feature using Apache Kafka for your Spring Boot microservice application. Learn why GeTui chooses Pulsar over Kafka as its messaging system for push notification needs and the best practice of running Pulsar on production. In this Kafka Tutorial you will learn how to get up and running Kafka, Configure topics, Producers and Consumer. Wait for all the services to be up. In IntelliJ IDEA, open the project created in the last section. Triggering side-effects will be delegated to a light-weight service that consumes from a Kafka topic.
