## How Kafka Works

This section is aimed for those who have Kafka problems, but are not yet familiar with Kafka. At a high level, it is a message broker which stores message in a log (or in an easier language: very similar to an array) format. It receives messages from producers that aimed to a specific topic, and then sends them to consumers that are subscribed to that topic. The consumers can then process the messages.

On the inside, when a message enters a topic, it would be written to a certain partition. You can think partition as physical boxes that stores messages for a specific topic, each topic will have their own separate & dedicated partitions. In a distributed Kafka setup, each partition might be stored on a different machine/node, but if you only have a single Kafka instance, then all the partitions are stored on the same machine.
