Design Microservices Architecture with Patterns and Principles - Apache Kafka Cluster Architecture

The video tutorial explains the architecture of a Kafka cluster, highlighting the roles of Kafka brokers and Zookeeper. Kafka brokers are set up across multiple servers to ensure data replication, fault tolerance, and high availability. Zookeeper is crucial for maintaining the cluster state and managing broker activities, such as leader election. Unlike traditional distributed systems, Kafka operates on a masterless architecture, relying on Zookeeper for coordination. The tutorial also covers Zookeeper's responsibilities in managing consumer groups and access control lists.
