Not just startups. I interviewed with a large financial institution recently and they had their heart set on Kafka. From what I learnt , they did not need Kafka -- the message order was not important, there was only one producer and one consumer and the volume of data was not extra-ordinary -- but they wanted to be on Kafka as that was the enterprise direction. I might have come across as an old fart when I asked the why they could not use their existing MQ infrastructure.
