For example topics in bugfest (ENV  == bugfest) the Kafka topic for inventory instances for tenant fs09000000 should have the following name:

bugfest.fs09000000.inventory.instance

We should also consider cases with many producers and the only consumer, the best example of which is mod-audit - there can be a single topic many modules push their event in, and only the mod-audit consumes events from it to log them for further auditing. We can follow exactly the same convention as stated above, with the only difference - specify not producer module name but consumer module name instead, e.g.

bugfest.fs09000000.mod-audit

Topic partitioning

In order not to have problems with consistency, that can occur due to race condition in case of concurrent writes to database Kafka topics should have appropriate partition_key. It could be id of the record or some another value, that allow to segregate events between consumer instances.
