You’re basically pitching this as a more complicated version of airflow that does basically the same thing, but slightly differently, and scales better?

… but your core dependencies are a Kafka cluster and an elastic search cluster which are both a pain in the ass to scale; so really, could you run this seriously without a really expensive hosted cloud instance of both of those?

This kind of wording:

> Since the application is a Kafka Stream, the application can be scale infinitely

Is a major turn off to me.

Kafka cannot scale infinitely. Nothing can. In fact, Kafka can be a pain in the ass to scale.

In makes me question some of the other commentary on the project.
