Yeah exactly! The Kafka use case is a great one--specifically writing consumers that perform real-world processing on events from Kafka.

In fact, one of our first customers used DBOS to build an event processing pipeline from Kafka. They hit the "wall of complexity" you described trying to persist events from Kafka to multiple backend data stores and services. DBOS made it much simpler because they could just write (and serverlessly deploy) durable workflows that ran exactly-once per Kafka message.
