It's really beautiful. Surprising too. I would have expected a far darker approach to this subject! Perhaps something like 60's horror comics genre, or better, like those Jack Chick religious tracts where people end up in burning in Hell forever as an immediate consequence of a sin against god.

It’s rare a piece of tech has a more fitting name! “Is your orgs politics so complicated that direct team-to-team communication has broken down? Is your business process subject to unannounced violent change? Bogged down by consistent DB schemas and API versioning? Tired of retries on failed messages? Introducing Kafka by Apache: an easy to use, highly configurable, persistently stored ephemeral centralized federated event based messaging data analytics Single Source of Truth as a Service that can scale with any enterprise-sized dysfunction!”

  "Childrens book" ... was the goal. I don't think many children are into Franz Kafka. Kafka is more for cynical grownups. (And teenagers about to become it). It was very Kafkaesque, having to read Kafka in school ..

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Little_Fable https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Little_Fable is probably a close as Kafka got to a children's book. "Alas", said the mouse, "the whole world is growing smaller every day. At the beginning it was so big that I was afraid, I kept running and running, and I was glad when I saw walls far away to the right and left, but these long walls have narrowed so quickly that I am in the last chamber already, and there in the corner stands the trap that I am running into." "You only need to change your direction," said the cat, and ate it up.
