 Apache Kafka
 =================
-See our [web site](https://kafka.apache.org) for details on the project.
+
+Kafka is a distributed system consisting of servers and clients that communicate via a high-performance [TCP network protocol](https://kafka.apache.org/protocol.html). It can be deployed on bare-metal hardware, virtual machines, and containers in on-premise as well as cloud environments. Kafka allows you to write distributed applications and microservices that read, write, and process streams of events in parallel, at scale, and in a fault-tolerant manner even in the case of network problems or machine failures.

Review Comment:
   Kafka is a distributed system => Kafka is a distributed event streaming system ?
