If you’re preparing for Cloud Engineer, Cloud Architect, Data Engineer, Big Data Engineer, or System Design interviews, this is one question that comes up again and again: “Kafka is industry standard… so should we always use Kafka?” The answer is NO — and that’s where most candidates fail. We go beyond definitions and buzzwords to understand: - Push vs Pull model - Destructive consumption vs message retention - Smart broker vs dumb broker - When RabbitMQ is the better choice - When Kafka is the ONLY sensible choice I explain everything using real-life analogies, architecture thinking, latest updates, and business use cases so you can confidently justify your decision in interviews and production systems. 💬 Comment below: If you were designing a payment system or event-driven platform, would you choose RabbitMQ or Kafka — and why? 🌱 Keep learning.
