there’s a lot of “Kafka causes so many issues!” comments here. I think it gets a bad rap because it gets introduced to orgs without the org having the requisite level of understanding. If your whole org is just on like a standard OLTP/OLAP setup, then suddenly there’s a Kafka queue, there’s going to he a serious learning curve and bumps along the way. If you’re incorrectly putting async event brokers as the datastore where you should be putting a synchronous DB and then streaming from the DB to kafka with an outbox pattern, you’re going to have a bad time. If you’re not modeling your queue depth and throughput you’re going to have a bad time. If you’re not modeling your concurrency scenarios and synchronization, you’re going to have a bad time.
