This is the exact same problem we are facing as well. Our clients just want to use it without knowing or thinking what problem they are solving. Confluent itself says that for a workload of 38Mbps/sec rabbitmq has 5 times less latency than Kafka and is 100x simpler to manage. https://www.confluent.io/blog/kafka-fastest-messaging-system/ https://www.confluent.io/blog/kafka-fastest-messaging-system... How do you teach someone to look at the problems first and then pick the tools?

> How do you teach someone to look at the problems first and then pick the tools? By understanding what the person cares about. Everyone knows "pick the right tool for the problem". Not everyone uses such a simple calculus because life isn't that simple. People have their own agendas, backgrounds, experiences, career growth desires, personal lives, etc., that are all part of their personal objective function. If you want to convince someone that your tools are better, show that your tools have a higher payoff for their personal objective function. This is way more than a mere product question. In a team setting it's even harder, because you have to balance it across multiple people simultaneously.

30 not 38. Also, 30K messages/s not 30Mbps. "Due to CPU bottlenecks, we were not able to drive a throughput higher than 38K messages/s, and any attempt to measure latency at this rate showed significant degradation in performance clocking a p99 latency of almost two seconds."
