Hi Alexander ! I'm a big fan of the work you do at vectorizedio and of your blog posts ! I strongly believe there's a need for much simpler event streaming and room for improvement performance-wise.

I took a different path by divorcing from the Kafka protocol and experimenting with what I believe is a simpler to model approach to reliable event processing [1].

that makes total sense. I agree. though in the future, the kafka proto will be impl details. i.e.: once you start moving to http proxy with typed schemas.
