Detailed article as always. Can't decide if I'm happy or sad about not using Kafka at work haha.

It allows for more fault tolerance without excessively harming the system’s throughput.

Thanks for the shoutout!

Thanks Fran.

Indeed the differences are in small details. Mostly, I've got away with async send though sometimes I've seen fire and forget being used as well.
