What's end-to-end latency for a local cluster like? What's your business model?

I'm a big fan of kafka as an abstract building block, but not so much the actual implementation, which is as painful to setup as a consultancy-based business model might make you suspect it would be, especially if you need reliability. The other problem is that performance kind of sucks, apart from potential latency spikes due to GC pauses I found even the average latencies for reliable end to end (in a fast local network and on decent sized hardware) not in right order of magnitude ballpark.




Regarding biz model.

-Redpanda (free) - comparable features to Kafka, no limits -Redpanda Enterprise (paid) - Additional features (security, WASM, tiered storage, support etc) -Vectorized cloud (Free and paid tiers) - Hosted in AWS+ GCP
