Even with Kafka, you need a smart load-balancing solution in place.

I was always impressed by Kafka, it is one of the best in its kind! An awesome write up my friend!

Thanks Daniel.

Kafka is certainly very impressive on its own. Also, this case study shows quite a few tricks that Agoda used to improve the default behavior.
