Role in the Platform
Apache Kafka is the central nervous system of Chanchala Cloud. Running in KRaft mode (controller-less), it streams market ticks, candle data, and trading signals with guaranteed ordering and fault tolerance.
Implementation Highlights
KRaft mode eliminates ZooKeeper dependency
Multiple topic partitions for parallel processing
Tick data streaming from Zerodha WebSocket
Signal propagation between strategy and execution layers
Durable message storage for replay and recovery
Platform Components
ccl_ltp_ingester - Publishes real-time ticks
