Kafka - Event-Driven Architecture

ARead all events from the beginning every time to rebuild state

BOnly read the latest event for each entity from the topic

CUse snapshots periodically and then replay only recent events

DDelete old events from the topic to reduce size

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand rebuilding state from events
Replaying all events from the start is slow for large data; deleting events loses history.
Step 2: Use snapshots to optimize
Snapshots save a recent state, so only new events after snapshot need replay, improving efficiency.
Final Answer:
Use snapshots periodically and then replay only recent events -> Option C
Quick Check:
Snapshots + replay recent events = efficient rebuild [OK]

Quick Trick: Snapshots speed up rebuilding by avoiding full replay [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Replaying all events every time (slow)
Deleting events loses full history
Reading only latest event misses changes
