I’m curious, what makes Kafka to be picked in the first place. Perhaps a vast majority of developers are growing up using Kafka for everything for their learning projects as it makes it convenient for rapid development?
Maybe they learn about it through blogs, video tutorials and so on, at the cost of other technologies?
For instance, my nephew was heaping praises on Firebase and would use it for all his projects. It took me a while to understand that the convenience of using it masked some of the issues that would only get exposed at scale.
For whatever reason a vast number of developers are entering the workforce believing in Kafka’s capability to solve all problems. And going against that majority will be very tiring and even costly.
