Kafka allows clean decoupling of event producing and consuming logic unlike typical message queues. Your clients can keep pushing new messages to Kafka's persistent logs without having to know who and what will process those messages.

This makes it possible to easily update your event processing logic or add new components to the mix while maintaining a clean architecture.

I gave a talk about this at PostgresConf US a few weeks ago, the talk's not yet available as an article, but you can get the slides from https://aiven.io/blog/aiven-talks-in-postgresconf-us-2018/ if you're interested.
