Hi Telles, 1. One broker is probably fine with the load, though if you want replication for fault tolerance you will need more than one. 2. The host/port you configure is just to discover the full cluster topology. Messages will be partitioned semantically and balanced over all hosts that have partitions for the topics you interact with. 3. Yes, Kafka is multi-writer.
