Kafka is core to Twitter's historical data products, offering access to every tweet since 2006. Learn how we reliably consume and process thousands of messages per second, serving Twitter's realtime and historical data APIs without skipping a beat.

We'll discuss how our architecture has evolved over the years to respond to business needs and technological changes as well as lessons learned keeping this system flowing.
