 This community seeks to provide:
  * Production-worthy Kafka setup for persistent (domain- and ops-) data at small scale.

  * Operational knowledge, biased towards resilience over throughput, as Kubernetes manifest.
  * A platform for event-driven (streaming!) microservices design using Kubernetes.
