I see. 1. You don’t want the 100k machines sending directly to kafka.
2. You can only have a small number of web servers People certainly have web-servers handling over 100k concurrent connections. See this for some examples: https://github.com/smallnest/C1000K-Servers . It seems possible with the right sort of kafka producer tuning. -Dave From: SenthilKumar K [mailto:senthilec...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 21, 2017 8:55 AM To: Tauzell, Dave Cc: us...@kafka.apache.org; senthilec...@apache.org; dev@kafka.apache.org; Senthil kumar Subject: Re: Handling 2 to 3 Million Events before Kafka Thanks Jeyhun. Yes http server would be problematic here w.r.t network , memory .. Hi Dave , The problem is not with Kafka , it's all about how do you handle huge data before kafka. I did a simple test with 5 node Kafka Cluster which gives good result ( ~950 MB/s ) ..So Kafka side i dont see a scaling issue ... All we are trying is before kafka how do we handle messages from different servers ... Webservers can send fast to kafka but still i can handle only 50k events per second which is less for my use case.. also i can't deploy 20 webservers to handle this load. I'm looking for an option what could be the best candidate before kafka , it should be super fast in getting all and send it to kafka producer .. --Senthil On Wed, Jun 21, 2017 at 6:53 PM, Tauzell, Dave <dave.tauz...@surescripts.com<mailto:dave.tauz...@surescripts.com>> wrote: What are your configurations? - production - brokers - consumers Is the problem that web servers cannot send to Kafka fast enough or your consumers cannot process messages off of kafka fast enough?

I have been trying to solve problem of handling 5 GB/sec ingestion. Kafka is really good candidate for us to handle this ingestion rate .. 100K machines ----> { Http Server (Jetty/Netty) } --> Kafka Cluster.. I see the problem in Http Server where it can't handle beyond 50K events per instance .. I'm thinking some other solution would be right choice before Kafka .. Anyone worked on similar use case and similar load ?
