[Verse 1] Brokers orchestrate the symphony of streams Topics hold the channels where your data dreams Partitions split the load across the cluster wide Segments store the history that cannot hide Offsets mark the journey through each message trail Every byte positioned where it cannot fail [Chorus] Core architecture flows through time Brokers, topics, partitions align Segments hold what offsets find Schema evolution by design Acknowledgment semantics shine Exactly once across the line [Verse 2] Producers craft their guarantees with acks so clear Zero fires and forgets without a tear One waits for leaders while the network hums All demands unanimous before it comes Idempotency shields against the duplicate curse Exactly-once semantics won't reverse [Chorus] Core architecture flows through time Brokers, topics, partitions align Segments hold what offsets find Schema evolution by design Acknowledgment semantics shine Exactly once across the line [Verse 3] Consumer groups divide the workload fair and square Partition assignment strategies declare Round-robin spreads the burden evenly around Range keeps sequences together, tightly bound Rebalancing protocols shift when members leave Coordination managers never deceive [Bridge] Log compaction keeps the latest keys alive Time-based retention lets the old archives dive Avro's binary precision cuts through space Protobuf efficiency wins every race JSON Schema readable, compatibility modes Forward, backward, full evolution codes [Chorus] Core architecture flows through time Brokers, topics, partitions align Segments hold what offsets find Schema evolution by design Acknowledgment semantics shine Exactly once across the line [Outro] Registry governs transformation's art Each version plays its crucial part From producer to consumer's door Streaming infrastructure at its core
