Unlike the traditional message transfer method, Apache Kafka is more scalable as it allows the addition of more partitions.

Kafka does not slow down with the addition of new consumers, unlike the traditional method of message transfer, where both the queue and topic performance sees a decline in performance with a rise in the number of consumers.

In Kafka, the messages contain a key-value pair. The key is used for partitioning purposes and to place related messages in the same partition. The traditional message transfer method usually does not have any such method of grouping messages.

Apache Kafka comes with a checksum method that is used to detect corruption of messages on the various servers; the traditional method of message transfer has no such way of verifying whether message integrity is maintained.

Apache Kafka supports the creation of message replicas, i.e., messages in Kafka are not deleted once consumed and are available for a while as specified by the retention time.
