KAFKA

KAFKA is in all mouths these days. So I share here, also as a reminder for me, a couple of #KAFKA ressources that looked helpful to me.

TLDR:

Do not use KAFKA for:

-“Little” Data flows (overkill)

-Streaming ETL (handling transformation is a hassle)

-Store and process large files (images, videos, proprietary files, etc.)
