Hold up. I need some clarification here. SQL databases are opaque with regard to resource usage but Kafka is completely transparent in this regard? That is your personal experience and assertion?
- lmm 4y agoYes. I once saw an outage caused by an SQL database server collapsing because of a query that had been issued 23 days earlier. I saw another one gradually get slower and slower over a period of weeks because a data scientist had left a command prompt open and forgotten about it. Kafka brokers are a lot more consistent and predictable IME.
