MQTT vs. Kafka: An IoT Advocate's Perspective

Have you tried Pulsar or Redpanda? Both seem mature enough and provide decent performance to probably meet your needs. What I hear is that Redpanda is a lot easier to manage than Kafka.

What's the license for Redpanda? I couldn't find anything but maybe it's because I'm on mobile.

Disclaimer, I work at Redpanda.

Redpanda Community Edition is licensed with the Redpanda Business Source License (BSL). The core features are free and source-available.

This license was inspired by MariaDB and CockroachDB and "for 99.999% of users, restrictions will not apply". The big restriction is that users "cannot provide Redpanda as a commercial streaming or queuing service to others" which is primarily to deter large cloud vendors from taking our work and impacting our ability to operate as a business.

Here are some links for more details on how we came to this decision and how we license all our products and features.

I haven’t took the time but I should. Redpanda is written in C++ and I tend to prefer safer programming languages, redis being the exception.
