streams

[vague kettle]

with event streams like kafka, is it normal for consumer failures to just block processing of the entire event stream entirely? different consumers can read the streams independently of each other, but i'm talking about a single consumer here

Yes, it is not normal for consumer failures to block processing of the entire event stream. With Kafka, different consumers can read the streams independently of each other. If one consumer fails, it should not affect the processing of the stream for other consumers. It is important to design your architecture in a way that ensures fault tolerance and scalability.
