I really dislike the way Confluent has treated the Kafka ecosystem. It feels like they went out of their way to make OSS Kafka kludgy and then priced their enterprise offering completely out of the reach of anyone but Fortune 500. I have been using Pulsar for new projects not because of performance or anything but because all the features you expect to be built-in are. Georeplication, shared-subscription w/selective ACK, schema registry etc. Also it's wildly more pluggable, the authn/authz plugin infrastruction in particular is great. I was even able to write a custom Pulsar segment compactor to do GDPR deletions without giving up offloaded segment longevity. The segment offload is actually huge especially because tools like Secor for Kafka are dead now and you are stuck on the Kafka Connect ecosystem which personally I really find distasteful. |
