Install Apache Kafka on Ubuntu 20.04

This instruction aims to take you on a journey of installing, configuring, and hardening Apache Kafka.

Apache Kafka is a widely adopted distributed message broker specifically designed to handle large amounts of real-time data. Its scalability and fault tolerance make it a preferred choice for building robust systems. In comparison to other message brokers such as ActiveMQ and RabbitMQ, Kafka stands out with its remarkable throughput capabilities. While its primary usage revolves around publish/subscribe messaging, it is also extensively utilised for log aggregation due to its ability to persistently store published messages.

In a publish/subscribe messaging system, one or more producers can publish messages without having to worry about the number of consumers or their specific message processing methods. Subscribed clients automatically receive notifications about updates and the arrival of new messages. This approach proves to be more efficient and scalable compared to systems where clients need to poll at regular intervals to check for the availability of new messages.

To successfully follow these instructions, you will need an Ubuntu 20.04 server equipped with a minimum of 4 GB of RAM. Additionally, ensure that you have a non-root user configured with sudo privileges.

Another prerequisite is the installation of OpenJDK 11 on your server. You can easily accomplish this by following our instructions on Installing Java on Ubuntu .
