Apache Kafka 

Apache Kafka is a real-time, fault tolerant, highly scalable messaging system. It is widely adopted for many use cases ranging from collecting user activity data, logs, application metrics, stock ticker data and device instrumentation. Kafka's unifying abstraction, a partitioned and replicated low latency commit log, allows these applications with very different throughput and latency requirements to be implemented on a single messaging system. It also encourages clean, loosely coupled architectures by acting as a highly reliable mediator between systems.

Confluent Platform 

 At its core, the Confluent Platform leverages Apache Kafka, a proven open-source technology created by the founders of Confluent while at LinkedIn. Kafka acts as a realtime, fault tolerant, highly scalable messaging system and is already widely deployed for use cases ranging from collecting user activity data, system logs, application metrics, stock ticker data and device instrumentation signals. Its key strength is its ability to make high volume data available as a realtime stream for consumption in systems with very different requirements – from batch systems like Hadoop, to realtime systems that require low-latency access, to stream processing engines that transform data streams immediately, as they arrive.
