I’d love to hear more about why they deployed Google-managed message brokers and event processing protocols downstream from Kafka. If you’re already using Kafka as a broker, why introduce PubSub? For event processing, why Dataflow and not Kafka streams or ksqldb? If it’s that your company signed a sponsorship with Google, I understand. But then why not replace Kafka with Google-managed services altogether? Are there things that Kafka does that PubSub doesn’t do that you really need (such as unlimited message retention)?
