Hi, The Java producer (and as far as I'm aware all other client libraries) don't rely on the filesystem for anything, *except* that the JVM producer relies on the filesystem if you want to use SSL with Kafka. We're running thousands of producers in containers (on Heroku) and have never seen any issues.
