Apache Kafka is a distributed event streaming platform designed to handle large volumes of real-time data. It is widely used for messaging, logging, event processing, and real-time analytics. Kafka is known for its ability to handle high throughput, fault tolerance, and scalability, making it an essential tool for modern data-driven applications. Kafka operates with three main components: Latency refers to the time delay between when a message is produced and when it is consumed.

Incident management has long relied on ITSM systems designed to handle incidents through a structured ticketing queue, with a focus on compliance and data integrity. While this method brings consistency, it often slows down response times and forces teams into a reactive mode during major incidents. This outdated and fragmented approach creates inconsistencies, as automation tools are inconsistently applied and lack a unified management system.

Even at Sentry, we're not immune to downtime. In a moment of "oh-the-irony," we once took down our own application with a bad migration. We were adding a field to a critical database table, and the migration locked it completely. Since this table was essential to Sentry’s operation, the entire app went down.
