The right tool for the right job needs to take into consideration what languages/tools people know and have been exposed to.

We process billions of events/records weekly with just Ruby and Sidekiq/Redis at my current job. Its way easier to extend what we have with Ruby than switching to Spark/Python/Scala/Kafka or whatever etc is complete overkill.
