Apache Kafka and Zookeeper have emerged as crucial components in modern software development, enabling efficient data streaming and real-time processing. As a distributed streaming platform, Apache Kafka handles high-throughput, real-time data feeds, while Apache Zookeeper provides centralized services for maintaining configuration information and coordinating Kafka brokers. Integrating these tools into .NET applications can significantly enhance scalability, fault-tolerance, and real-time data handling capabilities.
