I am about to start a project. I know I want an event sourced architecture. That is, the system is designed around a queue, all actors push/pull into the queue. This article gives me some pause.

Performance isn't a big deal for me. I had assumed that Kafka would give me things like decoupling, retry, dead-lettering, logging, schema validation, schema versioning, exactly once processing.

I like Postgres, and obviously I can write a queue ontop of it, but it seems like quite a lot of effort?
