You want to build a Kafka system that handles complex workflows with multiple services. Which advanced pattern helps manage failures without losing messages?
ADead letter queue to capture failed messages
BSingle topic with no partitions
CDisabling consumer groups for simplicity
DIgnoring message retries
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand failure handling in complex workflows

    Failures can cause message loss or blocking if not handled properly.
  2. Step 2: Role of dead letter queue (DLQ)

    DLQ stores failed messages separately for later inspection or retry, preventing loss.
  3. Step 3: Evaluate other options

    Single topic with no partitions limits scalability; disabling consumer groups and ignoring retries cause failures.
  4. Final Answer:

    Dead letter queue to capture failed messages -> Option A
  5. Quick Check:

    DLQ = Safe failure handling [OK]
Quick Trick: Use dead letter queues to handle failures safely [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Thinking ignoring retries is safe
  • Believing single topic is scalable
  • Disabling consumer groups helps reliability
