Kora: The Cloud Native Engine for Apache Kafka
- dikei 3y agoSo Confluent pulled a "ship of Theseus" on Confluence Cloud, it still looks like Kafka, but everything underneath has been replaced by a proprietary system.
- kfk 3y agoPlease, look into your use cases and keep asking "why", why do I need Kafka? Kafka is a beast of a tool. Example, I have seen people using Kafka after an MQTT broker, because... Kafka has an MQTT connector. Well, MQTT is a pub/sub architecture, so you are putting a pub/sub (Kafka) after another pub/sub MQTT, you need to be aware of that and need to think it thru if it makes sense for your use cases.

- pramodbiligiri 3y agoI wonder which language they chose for this project? I couldn't find any reference to that in that blog post.
- pjmlp 3y agoI wondered the same, with so much focus on performance across the blog post.
- hintymad 3y agoGiven their description on separated scaling on storage and compute, I was wondering if Kora has an architecture more similar to Apache Pulsar than Apache Kafka.
