Your lecturing speed is so high that I might need a distributed event streaming platform to understand it...

I mainly use kafka for producers apps to consumer/processors microservices. That was a whole level up to let connect components in my dev exp. But i will take those examples into account, they seems promising if we have to let go logging services like plausible or sentry.

Kafka design is out of date for cloud native environment, there are many other alternatives for kafka right now such as confluent, red panda, AutoMQ and Pulsar.Compared with these MQs, its performance, latency and storage management is not good enough

web development has become so complex.

[JTWebMan]

For the love of god please pick something else unless you really need kafka's scale which 99.999% of companies and problems do not.

I am not a native English speaker, but my English has already reached C1 level, and I can understand US Americans and British people very well, even several dialects. However, it's still challenging to understand people from other countries speaking with an accent. What I don't understand is why so many people don't care about learning pronunciation. Learning a large vocabulary may take years, and mastering the grammar might take months, but learning good pronunciation should only take a few weeks. Having good pronunciation would not only result in more people being able to understand you but should also lead to fewer misunderstandings. Even for native speakers, it's easier to understand someone with good pronunciation. The less effort you make in speaking correctly, the more effort your listeners have to make to understand you.
