Overall Satisfaction with Apache Kafka

Apache Kafka is the most powerful and scalable streaming framework on the market. We have used Apache Kafka as a part of many real-time analytics solutions. It has a great performance [and is] easy to integrate with big data technologies like Spark. Due to its distributed nature, Apache Kafka is capable of operating very quickly and can handle millions of messages every second.

Apache Kafka is open-sourced, scales great has cloud agnostics and performs better than Amazon Kinesis [in my view]. Amazon Kinesis has some limitations and vendor lockin is not something I [like]. With Confluent operators you can easily install it on a kubernetes cluster.
