For example, RabbitMQ stores messages in DRAM until the DRAM is completely consumed, at which point messages are written to disk, [severely impacting performance](https://blog.mavenhive.in/which-one-to-use-and-when-rabbitmq-vs-apache-kafka-7d5423301b58). Also, the routing logic of AMQP can be fairly complicated as opposed to Apache Kafka. For instance, each consumer simply decides which messages to read in Kafka. In addition to message routing simplicity, there are places where developers and DevOps staff prefer Apache Kafka for its high throughput, scalability, performance, and durability; although, developers still swear by all three systems for various reasons. * [Apache Kafka Kafka](https://medium.com/develbyte/introduction-to-zookeeper-bcda7ef136cd) is a pub-sub messaging system. It uses Zookeeper to detect crashes, to implement topic discovery, and to maintain production and consumption state for topics. * [Tutorial on putting a model in Kafka and using zoo keeper](https://towardsdatascience.com/putting-ml-in-production-i-using-apache-kafka-in-python-ce06b3a395c8) with code. ### KSQLDB * KSQLDB 101 uses Kafka streams to run queries over kafka, [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oThQzCXjuk4\&list=PLa7VYi0yPIH3ulxsOf5g43_QiB-HOg5_Y) ### Zoo keeper * Intro [1](https://medium.com/@rinu.gour123/role-of-apache-zookeeper-in-kafka-monitoring-configuration-c5bd1a7e4226), [2 - use cases](https://medium.com/@bikas.katwal10/zookeeper-introduction-designing-a-distributed-system-using-zookeeper-and-java-7f1b108e236e), [3\*](https://medium.com/@ben2460/about-apache-zookeeper-distributed-lock-1a990315e05c), [4](https://www.tutorialspoint.com/zookeeper/zookeeper_overview.htm) * What is [1](https://medium.com/@gavindya/what-is-zookeeper-db8dfc30fc9b), [2](https://medium.com/rahasak/apache-zookeeper-31b2091657a8) * It is a [service discovery in a nutshell, Kafka is using it to allow discovery, registration etc of services.

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://www.opscompendium.com/devops/full-stack-and-ops/key-value-db.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
