Pretty much every bank uses kafka ad the central messaging layer. What people are missing in almost every post here is the write once read many without data duplication and with different offsets is the killer app for Kafka beyond just the near infinite scale which is also super appealing. The failure modes are way way better than Rabbit as well. Note: I owned the streaming platform for a top 5 bank in the us.

Yeah, I'm sorry to others, but if you require the guarantees and compliance that Kafka provides, Kafka wins, especially at this kind of scale. I'd love to see RabbitMQ scaled out to handle hundreds of trillions of events per day and able to retain years worth of highly durable, immutable, and replayable event storage.

Ultimately, this comparison is apples vs oranges...
