The Essence of Apache Kafka (medium.com)
Imagine that you go to your usual coffee place and encounter a gigantic queue. Going a little further, you realize that each individual has to wait in line until the coffee is prepared and handed over to them, as opposed to just placing the order at the counter and moving on. The latter approach seems pretty obvious since we know that order placement and the subsequent preparation process can be done as distinct, independent activities.
