Apache Kafka is a powerful tool for processing data streams - but have you ever wondered what's really happening under the hood? 🔍

You can check it with our Kafka Visualization 👉 https://softwaremill.com/kafka-visualisation/

With this tool, you can simulate how data flows through a replicated Kafka topic, to gain a better understanding of the message processing model. Have fun exploring Kafka!
