To be honest until today I thought Kafka was the popular go-to Redis replacement, as almost none of my employers used Redis for its original, intended purpose, namely being an in-memory key-value store. What they really wanted was RabbitMQ.

Kafka does a completely different thing than Redis.
Indeed. Doesn't change the fact that people have been using Redis where they could well have used Kafka.

Hell, I did that in a previous project.
