Startup founder here -- we tried it, and it feels bloated (Java!), bureaucratic and overcomplicated for what it is. Something like Redis queues or even ZMQ probably suffices for 90% of use cases. Maybe in hyper-scaled applications that need to be ultraperformant (e.g., realtime trading, massive streaming platforms) is where Kafka comes into play.

What does solving random puzzles from Leetcode have to do with day-to-day engineering work? IMHO, the emphasis should be on previous experience, CS domain knowledge and systems architecture / design. Maybe degrees need to be fixed to convey more useful knowledge...
