No definitely not. Kafka is for LinkedIn scale. Postgres is for everyone else. Quick anecdote. I remember a friend who joined Shopify relatively early. He took ALL their data from many different services (analytics, Kafka etc) and loaded into Postgres on his laptop so he could query it efficiently. It's amazing how over-engineered some startups are. |

I can tell you dozens of similar anecdotes too
Kafka is very difficult to manage and it's better to avoid early for sure
