I'm a self-taught, have a single dedicated server, I have a single-instance Kafka running on top of ZK. Yes, I lose the benefits of replication, failover, etc. I don't need that though. The whole installation took me half an hour, learning Kafka took maybe 3 hours, and as long as my server's been up, Kafka's been up. Granted, I am not monitoring Kafka, but I do other processes. The other nice thing is that now that I have ZK, other software that need it can just reuse the same process. I think using the maintenance cost as a reason to write your own tool, is a short-sighted decision. |
