- If you are bootstrapped, you can build dual use technology.
- All of this is predicated on the idea that building software is hard, you need 8 years to build a product that people like. Maybe this is all going away in the AI world in a couple of years.

We had considered Oban when deciding whether to go with Kafka/Debezium or not. We sided with Kafka because it can do high throughput ingestion and it is easier to maintain it with cursor in today's world. Postgres is not meant for heavy writes, but heavy querying. You could fix that with lot of care but then it does not scale multi-master very well either. Kafka scales much better for heavy writes.
