    Introduction

    What is Distributed Systems Fundamentals? Ordering, delivery semantics, and failure models for Kafka.

    Understanding the topic

    What happens — Distributed Systems Fundamentals:

    • Ordering, delivery semantics, and failure models for Kafka
    • Ordering, delivery semantics, and failure models for Kafka.
    • Govern schemas and ownership.
    • Measure lag, cost, and SLOs.

    Visual explanation

    Pipeline view:

    text
    Ordering: one partition only
    Delivery: at-least-once (default)
    Durability: acks=all + ISR

    Step-by-step explanation

    1. Assess — Current pain and requirements.
    2. Design — Architecture and contracts.
    3. Implement — Platform guardrails.
    4. Operate — Monitor and iterate.

    Assess

    Current pain and requirements.

    Best practices

    • Use min.insync.replicas with acks=all.
    • Run failure game days.
    • Design idempotent handlers.

    Common mistakes

    • Cross-partition ordering expectations.
    • Ignoring rebalance impact.

    Summary

    Distributed Systems Fundamentals — Document consistency scope: per-key order, at-least-once + idempotency.
