Kafka 是多个消息传递/流式系统之一——替代方案包括 RabbitMQ、Apache Pulsar 和云服务(AWS SQS/SNS/Kinesis、Google Pub/Sub)。每个都有其优势和权衡;了解它们有助于选择合适的工具。
Kafka vs RabbitMQ
KAFKA → distributed event LOG; high throughput; retention/replay; streaming; many consumers
of the same data; partition-based → for event streaming, pipelines, high volume
RABBITMQ → traditional message BROKER (queues); rich ROUTING; per-message handling;
request/reply; lower-latency for individual messages → for task queues, complex routing,
RPC-style messaging
→ Kafka for streaming/high-volume/retention; RabbitMQ for flexible routing/task queues
