Hi,
I know, i should write more about my experience with Apache Kafka, have patience, it’s still building, but until then please check this article:

Be aware of the things that you want to include in functionalities and code that is written beside Apache Kafka functionalities, it might get you in to trouble.
I am very happy that sysdig is used by more and more teams for debug, it’s truly a great tool for this kind of situations.
Cheers!
