Ask HN: Logstash vs. Kafka?

Hi all,

I'm trying to build realtime data infrastructure for logging. For ingestion layer, I'm thinking about using Kafka / Logstash for logging ingestion layer and then after that I can store it in any database and I can easily change the store without changing the ingestion layer in the future.

Any experience using logstash or Kafka in production?

Also, additional question is, I concern a lot for missing data case when we're sending data to logstash or kafka using kind of lightweight shipper like filebeat? Any experience for handling missing data at scale?
