@noisesmith Appreciate the info (and thanks to FC for Jackdaw -- excellent little library.) If you still remember... in the case where you have a "backup from Kafka", is this backup datasource actually queried by the app runtime or just written to? @adam622 That's an incredibly relevant resource, thank you!
Also intrigued if you ever, routinely or in an emergency, had to replay the whole log?
yes - emergency iirc
