I think Elixir/Erlang + Redis pub-sub + PostgreSQL is the sane minimal subset for distributed and scalable systems.

Just say no to Kafka.

Where kafka comes in though is no-code db following. These are super handy when you want to be informed of changes to a table, but don't know which "micro-service" is changing the data. KafkaConnect is very handy.

Though I will concede, it's a bit of a bazooka for a mosquito, sort of thing.

After using NATS I don't think I'll ever want to use redis pubsub again.
