Well, if you want events, you have lighter alternative. Redis pub/sub, crossbar... Even rabbitMQ is lighter.

If you need queuing, you have libs like celery.

You don't need to go full kafka

I do not disagree. Kafka is kind of a monster to fully configure correctly. Once they get rid of zookeeper it may be nicer to spin up and 'set it and forget it' sort of thing like the others.

Redis - it's probably in your stack already and fills all the use-cases.

Agreed. Redis pub/sub is underrated.
