Hi, We are capacity planning for kafka deployment (Replication factor 3) in production environment, the producer is producing data at 1.5Gbps. Total number of producers will be around 500 and there will be 100 consumers. How many cores would be required to support them? And are there any known repercussions of running kafka brokers along with other processor intensive processes. Disks will still be separate for kafka and other processes.
We are also trying to decide between SSDs and HDDs. Are there any knows production deployment of kafka over SSDs? Thanks, Anand
