Hi Achintya, 1. Kafka can be used as a message store. 2. What is the message arrival rate per second? 3. What is the SLA for the messages to be processed? 4. If your messages arrive faster than they are consumed, you will get a backlog of messages. In that case, you may need to grow your cluster so that more messages are processed in parallel.
