Overall Satisfaction with Apache Kafka

It is being used for the product mainly. We have huge data pipelines running which depend on Apache Kafka. It is being used for more than 5 years now and we are really happy with the performance and the reliability Apache Kafka has to offer. The experience has been excellent.
  • Data Pipeline
  • Asynchronous processing
  • Data retention for reprocessing
  • Dashboards to monitor the performance
  • ZooKeeper free
  • Connectors for more languages
  • Faster deployments
  • Scalable solution which improves up time of systems
  • Low Dev effort
Apache Kafka is much more scalable and more reliable. Does not depend on memory, works well on rotational disks and that makes it a cheaper to use solution on low hardware requirements. Running multiple consumers on the same topic can also mean processing the same data again and again and this can be a big plus.

  • It works overall really well for maintaining data and then processing whenever you want to as it has really good retention options. Multiple consumers can be run and systems can be scaled.
  • Works well when scale is needed
  • Can work well on low hardware requirements
  • Where it can be limiting is while implementing priority queues as it has to be done at the producer level.
