Kafka - Event-Driven Architecture

Given this Kafka event-driven flow:

Producer sends 3 messages: M1, M2, M3
Consumer processes messages asynchronously

What is the expected order of message processing by the consumer?

AMessages may be processed in any order depending on consumer speed

BM3, M2, M1 always in reverse order

CM1, M2, M3 always in order

DOnly M1 is processed, others are ignored

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand asynchronous processing
Consumers process messages independently and may handle them at different speeds.
Step 2: Analyze message order in async processing
Because processing is asynchronous, messages can be handled in any order, not necessarily the order sent.
Final Answer:
Messages may be processed in any order depending on consumer speed -> Option A
Quick Check:
Async consumer = Any order processing [OK]

Quick Trick: Async means order can vary in processing [OK]
