- vladsanchez 6y ago- [RedPanda|https://vectorized.io/redpanda/ https://vectorized.io/redpanda/]? - [Apache Pulsar|https://pulsar.apache.org https://pulsar.apache.org]?
- pranay01 6y agoWe had checked out both these projects. Our view was that RedPanda was still an early project ( ~1.5K stars) and Pulsar was very similar to Kafka, and Kafka was more well known compared to Pulsar

- TameAntelope 6y agoKafka does not fill the same use cases as these suggestions, this may be part of the trouble you were experiencing! My use of Kafka was as a "system of record", and attaching connectors to create views into the data from there. I could replay a Kafka topic into a MongoDB, run some analysis, and destroy the MongoDB instance.
