Apache Kafka is an open source distributed event store and stream-processing platform. Since 2012, it has gained increasing popularity among users due to its excellent performance and flexible configuration. Today, more than 80% of all Fortune 100 companies is using Kafka.

Caching is a crucial technique used in modern computing to improve system performance and reduce latency. It involves storing frequently accessed data closer to the users, reducing the need to retrieve the same data repeatedly from the original source.

Metrics are vital for the distribution system, this article describes how to implement a metric function for a high TPS system.

Throttling is one of the three effective methods for protecting a high concurrency system. The other two are respectively caching and downgrading. Throttling is used in many scenarios to limit the concurrency and the number of requests. Our service has tens of millions of TPS, with tens of thousands of hosts serving traffic. Throttling is vital for such a large distributed service.
