Hypothetical use case I've been thinking about:

Say I want to log all http requests to the server (I know I said a keyword of log) and then process those logs into aggregates, stick them in a time series.

Would it be insane to "log" everything into kafka? Or what would be the more "correct" tool for that job?

No, that's a common use case. Ultimately Kafka is just a big dumb pipe. Only question I'd ask is how much data are you expecting?
