Overall Satisfaction with Apache Kafka
We use Apache Kafka as message broker between our two client facing applications. We used ActiveMQ before but it had shortfalls of high availability and clustering. Kafka solved it on both fronts and gives a good business continuity.
- High availability
- performance
- Admin user interface
- zookeeper logs could be better
- monitoring
- Clustering
- HA
- open source
- Community
- Needs at least 3 machines is a negative
- Open source is positive
- good community to get help is a positive
It had the clustering functionality and gave tolerance against machine failure.
