Fantastic read. Concise and solid decision explanations. Thanks for writing!

Was there any other reason you chose kestrel over alternatives like kafka? Did you test any others, or where you just that satisfied with kestrel?

We chose kestrel mostly just from usage/familiarity. We've been satisfied with it, but are currently researching/testing kafka.

Are you guys using either of them elsewhere or just for analytics?

We use Kestrel for our internal hooks delivery system also (based on jnunemaker's suggestion).
