I feel ya. Software is a world that’s constantly evolving. Apache is great at software engineering, but sorely lacking in product design. Because open source software is almost definitionally not a product, but a tool. With that comes increased bifurcation of the tooling when different requirements arise, and increased complexity with running it. Kafka and pulsar both have zookeeper as an external dependency, for instance. Pulsar has an extra dependency even in bookkeeper, one of the few things I’ll readily fault it for. It’s a stark contrast to openly commercial products like CockroachDB, which has a single static binary, with symmetric nodes, and built in management UI. It’s a product, not a tool. FWIW, Apache has a project directory - https://projects.apache.org/projects.html https://projects.apache.org/projects.html But it’s a far cry from a comparison matrix as you (and I think many other confused and disheartened engineers) desire.
