AWS EventBridge vs Apache Kafka
Developers should use AWS EventBridge when building decoupled, scalable applications that require real-time event processing, such as microservices architectures, serverless workflows, or integrating multiple AWS services meets developers should learn kafka when building systems that require real-time data ingestion, processing, or messaging, such as log aggregation, event sourcing, or stream processing. Here's our take.
AWS EventBridge
Developers should use AWS EventBridge when building decoupled, scalable applications that require real-time event processing, such as microservices architectures, serverless workflows, or integrating multiple AWS services
AWS EventBridge
Nice PickDevelopers should use AWS EventBridge when building decoupled, scalable applications that require real-time event processing, such as microservices architectures, serverless workflows, or integrating multiple AWS services
Pros
- +It's ideal for scenarios like automating responses to infrastructure changes, orchestrating multi-step processes with AWS Step Functions, or centralizing event logging and monitoring across hybrid environments
- +Related to: aws-lambda, aws-step-functions
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Apache Kafka
Developers should learn Kafka when building systems that require real-time data ingestion, processing, or messaging, such as log aggregation, event sourcing, or stream processing
Pros
- +It is essential for use cases like monitoring website activity, processing financial transactions, or integrating microservices, due to its high performance and reliability
- +Related to: distributed-systems, event-driven-architecture
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use AWS EventBridge if: You want it's ideal for scenarios like automating responses to infrastructure changes, orchestrating multi-step processes with aws step functions, or centralizing event logging and monitoring across hybrid environments and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Apache Kafka if: You prioritize it is essential for use cases like monitoring website activity, processing financial transactions, or integrating microservices, due to its high performance and reliability over what AWS EventBridge offers.
