Don't you always need a database after reading events from Kafka to deduplication?

So the competing solutions are: PostgreSQL or Kafka+PostgreSQL

Kafka does provide some extrs there, handling load spikes, more clients that PG can handle natively and resilience to some DB downtime. But is it worth the complexity, in most cases no.
