How to Produce a Message into a Kafka Topic using the CLI? Find your Kafka hostname and port e.g., localhost:9092. If Kafka v2. 5+, use the --bootstrap-server option. If older version of Kafka, use the --broker-list option. Provide the mandatory parameters: topic name. Use the kafka-console-producer.sh CLI as outlined below.
Kafka stands out for its ability to handle high throughput and provide scalability, fault tolerance, and message retention. These features make Kafka ideal for a notification system where reliability and real-time processing are crucial.
