Using Kafka instead of something such as IBM MQ is much cheaper, offering scalability and processing messages in parallel, which Kafka helps manage quite a lot, though you can have issues with duplicate processing.

I am saying that the cloud version is quite expensive, and there's room for improvement since I've set up a test cluster on my own AWS account, and within the first couple of days, it already accumulated a bill close to $200-$300 with no activity on the cluster.

To improve Kpow for Apache Kafka, I believe that even though the UI is really user-friendly, it can be made more intuitive.

Kpow for Apache Kafka can sometimes be overkill if my data set is small because I will end up paying for the cluster and retaining it and managing the clusters.
