S7E6 | Apache Kafka Topics Explained: Partitions, Replication Real-Time Data Streaming for Beginners

In this episode of PithorAcademy Presents: Deep Dive, we focus on one of the most foundational concepts in Apache Kafka: Topics. Everything in Kafka builds on topics, making this episode essential for beginners.

We cover:

What Kafka Topics Are – the “folders” of Kafka data

Partitions = Scalability – how Kafka handles massive throughput

Replication Factor = Reliability – ensuring fault tolerance

By the end, you’ll clearly understand why topics are the core of real-time event streaming, and how partitions and replication make Kafka a scalable and reliable distributed system used by companies like Netflix, Uber, and LinkedIn.
