    Introduction In distributed systems, especially those involving message brokers like Kafka, ensuring that a message is processed exactly once is critical. In this tutorial, we will explore the concept of an idempotent Kafka consumer, which is a consumer designed to handle repeated delivery of the same message without causing side effects or data corruption. What…
