Is there somewhere a real list of pros of cons of pulsar vs kafka ( or redpanda) , from people having real life experience of the two ( and not just reading the documentation) ?

Btw, speaking of pros and cons, it would be really nice to have a feature comparison website for different types of technologies (e.g. relational databases, messaging systems, etc). For some, there are Wikipedia "Comparison of X" pages, and to some degree you can extract and discover via Stackshare, but Wikipedia is far from complete and up to date, and Stackshare mostly just shows you who uses what and describes technologies via marketing buzzwords rather than somewhat "normalized" descriptions.
If you're going to look at Kafka inside of Kubernetes at all just look at running Apache Pulsar in K8s.
One of the main arguments in this article is worry about exposing the broker but in Pulsar there is a proxy for this and the helm chart supports ingress public endpoint by just enabling a flag.
