S7E11 | Apache Kafka Offsets Explained: Auto vs Manual Commit & Reliable Data Delivery

In this episode of PithorAcademy Presents: Deep Dive, we explore one of the most critical concepts in Apache Kafka — Offsets. Offsets act as bookmarks in Kafka, ensuring reliable and ordered data consumption.

We cover:

What Offsets Are – the position of a consumer in a Kafka topic

Auto vs Manual Commit – trade-offs in reliability and control

Offset Storage – how Kafka tracks consumer progress

By the end, you’ll understand why offset management is central to data correctness and how mastering it ensures reliable delivery, fault tolerance, and accurate event-driven applications.
