IIRC, I think I tried to use stunnel with Kafka once and it worked fine and the configuration wasn't too bad, at least for a simple configuration.

Thank you Marc (and others) for jumping in and sharing your perspectives! A feature that Kafka doesn't currently support while RabbitMQ does (since about a year ago, I don't remember exactly) is SSL support. I realize that one can set up a tunnel between data centers, etc.; that would require more (configuration) work than SSL though. I am surprised that this difference hasn't come up :o Thanks, -Dragos On 6/6/13 6:09 PM, "Marc Labbe" <mrla...@gmail.com> wrote: >There are two things where RabbitMQ would have given us less work out >of the box as opposed to Kafka.
