Apache Kafka FAQ

Use Kafka for event-driven architectures, microservice communication, real-time analytics, and any scenario requiring reliable message delivery at scale.

Kafka persists messages and supports replay. Redis pub/sub is simpler but doesn't persist. Use Kafka for durability, Redis for ephemeral real-time messaging.
