What happens when a Kafka event fails in production?
* Does the message disappear forever?
* Does the system crash?
* Or can we safely recover failed events?

In this video, we implement a real Dead Letter Queue (DLQ) system in Kafka using NestJS microservices.

What You’ll Learn:
Practical DLQ implementation
Handling failed Kafka events safely
Preventing message loss in microservices
Retry failure scenarios
Kafka Producer & Consumer flow
Production-grade event handling
Real-world distributed systems reliability

If a service fails, the event is NOT lost — it gets stored safely inside DLQ.

This is how real production systems handle failures.
