Apache Kafka vs. JMS Message Broker (IBM MQ, TIBCO, Solace)

This video explores the differences, trade-offs, and architectures of JMS message brokers and Kafka deployments. Learn how to choose between JMS message brokers like IBM MQ, TIBCO EMS, Solace, or ActiveMQ and open-source Kafka or serverless cloud services like Confluent Cloud.

It's one of the best apple to orange comparison ever witnessed.

What do you recommend, KAFKA or ESB in the context of Integrated Manufacturing Operations Management Systems (MOMS) in the oil and gas industry (Refinery)

Complete biased comparison, not even in one characteristic is comparing purely one broker with another. The real answer to this comparison is that actually it depends on the use case, if you dont mind to have some messages without being processed go to Streaming messaging that performs awesomly. BUT if you need an Enterprise grade guarantee of the delivery of all the messages, JMS architecture is unbeatable
