When should I use Kafka?

Kafka excels at high-throughput event streaming, real-time analytics, log aggregation, and event-driven microservices communication.

Kafka is better for high-throughput event streaming and log processing. RabbitMQ is simpler for traditional message queuing with routing.

Can they manage Kafka in production?

Yes. Our developers handle cluster management, partition tuning, consumer lag monitoring, and scaling strategies for production Kafka.
