WHY TIERED STORAGE FOR APACHE KAFKA IS A BIG THING

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Apache Kafka has introduced Tiered Storage, which allows for the separation of compute and storage. This article explores the architecture, use cases, benefits, and even presents a case study of storing petabytes of data in the Kafka commit log. Tiered Storage optimizes storage resources by using different storage tiers based on data access patterns, performance requirements, and cost considerations.
