Curious, is there an alternative to Kafka which would be more easier for you to adopt?

We had checked out both these projects. Our view was that RedPanda was still an early project ( ~1.5K stars) and Pulsar was very similar to Kafka, and Kafka was more well known compared to Pulsar

some options: - https://pulsar.apache.org/ - the many systems based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Message_Queuing_Proto... - cloud-specific queues (SNS Kinesis et al)

Kafka does not fill the same use cases as these suggestions, this may be part of the trouble you were experiencing!

My use of Kafka was as a "system of record", and attaching connectors to create views into the data from there.

I could replay a Kafka topic into a MongoDB, run some analysis, and destroy the MongoDB instance.
