Yes. It’s been a running joke that half a dozen industry players can reimplement the Kafka wire protocol, but LinkedIn’s stream team is not one of them 🤣 They just hate it too much, and think its design flaws are too significant to bother with.

No one cares about the protocol. But the semantics are significantly different from Kafka's. More similar to Kinesis IMO.
