Partitioning takes a single topic log and breaks it into multiple logs, which makes it easier to store messages, write new ones, and process existing ones across all the nodes within a Kafka cluster. Kris Jenkins (Senior Developer Advocate, Confluent) explains that Kafka events are stored in a topic, which is an ever-growing log of what happened. As your system becomes popular, with the requirement to process millions of log messages per second, for example, splitting up that log into multiple partitions allows for better system performance.
