What do you like best about the product?

Kafka is an awesome piece of technology that we can use in production, at scale, with confidence because Instaclustr has taken the hard work of managing Kafka out of our hands. Things will always go wrong, but I have complete trust in Instaclustr to fix problems with our Kafka cluster before they hurt us, I have this trust, because they have saved us in the past and I know they will keep doing so into the future. Easily one of the best infrastructure decisions we've made.

What do you dislike about the product?

We've had a couple of issues hooking up Dynatrace (our monitoring tool).

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our entire platform is message-driven, we planned it this way and have built it from the ground up with Kafka as the backbone of our message delivery. It is a vital cog in our platform and we couldn't be happier with the result so far!
