Apache Kafka is an open-source distributed streaming platform that serves as a central hub for handling real-time data streams. It allows efficient publishing, subscribing, and processing of data from various sources like applications, servers, and sensors.
I would not subscribe to the Confluent platform, but rather stay on the free open source version. The extra cost wasn't justified.
Licensing issues are not applicable. Apache licensing makes it simple with almost zero cost for the software itself.
