Universal Containers (UC)uses Apache Kafka on Heroku to stream shipment inventory data in real time throughout the world. A Kafka topic is used to send messages with updates on the shipping container GPS coordinates as they are in transit. UC is using a Heroku Kafka basic-0 plan.The topic was provisioned with 8 partitions, 1 week of retention, and no compaction.
