Now Kafka has ZK taken out and tiered storage coming in these factors are becoming mute points. With tiered storage Kafka has 2 layers and hence the benefits of broker/storage decoupling. By comparison, Pulsar has broker, bookkeeper,

I think that's one of the main points. Now you can run it as a single process more like a traditional broker (although it's obviously still a log).

I'm lost too. Kafka auto creates topics by default. Maybe you're referring to being able to create more topics? But that seems to be unproven. Kafka's limit is metadata and Pulsar is more metadata dependent than Kafka.

1. is true, but if you want that data to move to a new node, it still needs to be replicated. Kafka's approach is to use tiered storage (which I believe is close to completion). 2. Kafka can read from a replica node. It's relative

This smacks of being heavily one-product-focussed to me. Being a Kafka user it's hard enough managing and understanding one system, nevermind three or four joined together. Maybe it's a bit faster or a bit more elastic, or whateve
