Using Kafka as a (CQRS) Eventstore. Good idea?
Although I've come across Kafka before, I just recently realized Kafka may perhaps be used as (the basis of) a CQRS , eventstore . One of the main points that Kafka supports: Event capturing / storing, all HA of course. Pub / sub architecture Ability to replay the eventlog which allows the ability for new subscribers to register with the system after the fact. Admittedly I'm not 100% versed into CQRS / Event sourcing but this seems pretty close to what an eventstore should be. Funny thing is: I really can't find that much about Kafka being used as an eventstore, so perhaps I must be missing
