PHP services publishing events.
- Topics
Logical event streams.
- Partitions
Enable parallel processing.
- Consumers
Independent processing services.
Key properties:
- durability
- ordering per partition
- replayability
- horizontal scalability
Advanced patterns:
- event replay for recovery
- stream processing pipelines
- exactly-once semantics (at system level)
- consumer groups for scaling…
