As someone using Kafka, I'd like to know what the (good) alternatives are if you have suggestions.

Where I'm at, most of Kafka usage adds nothing of note and could be replaced with a rest service. It sounds good that Kafka makes everything execute in order, but honestly just making requests block does the same thing.
At least then I could autoscale, which Kafka prevents.
I found it easy to get up and running, even as a RAFT cluster, but I have not tried to use JetStream mode heavily yet.
