I've seen both your FoundationDB talks, curious if you are using FoundationDB under the hood or how much of the metadata store is homegrown? Also, how did you implement the parsing of the Kafka protocol? From scratch or pieced together

I use Ilograph pretty heavily both for documenting existing systems and designing new systems. The paradigm of “everything has context” makes diagrams much easier to understand. I have even used it to render infrastructure diagrams of actua
