Delivery Guarantees & Transactions

Overview

When we consume a message, we need to decide when to acknowledge that we are done with it. Depending on our choice, we can end up with either an at-most-once, at-least-once, or exactly-once (effectively-once) delivery guarantee. Although an exactly-once guarantee is technically impossible, Kafka includes transactional semantics that can achieve an effectively-once guarantee. This video will discuss each of these delivery guarantees and show how you can implement them. It will also highlight the dangers of operating with the default auto-commit settings in .NET.

Topics:

  • Auto-Commit
  • At-Least-Once
  • At-Most-Once
  • Exactly-Once (Effectively-Once)
  • Manual Commits
  • Manual Offset Storage
  • External Offset Storage
  • Transactions
