Just to be clear, Kafka is not something that needs babysitting. It just works
(in the good way).

I've built both large and small systems with Kafka. It's not difficult to set
up, and works like a charm. It should be the least of your worries, in my
experience.

Hi I'm the technical co-founder of a startup in San Francisco and I've been
investigating using Kafka for some time.
I'm thinking about biting the bullet and integrating it soon into our
system. My main concern is how much operational overhead it'll add. I'm the
only engineer right now and am already stretched thin. Since Kafka isn't a
must have yet, it only makes sense to adopt it if it's pretty care free.
What are people's experiences in similar situations to mine? Is Kafka
something you can setup and forget like say redis or is something I'll be
babysitting a decent bit and spending a lot of time on upgrades etc.?
Also I'd love to take anyone in San Francisco with Kafka experience out to
lunch or coffee.
Thanks!
Kyle
