Why I was previously not a fan of Apache Kafka

Update, September 2016

OK, you can pretty much ignore what I wrote below this update, because it doesn't really apply anymore.

I wrote this over a year ago, and at the time I had spent a couple of weeks trying to get Kafka 0.8 working with .NET and then Node.js with much frustration and very little success. I was rather angry. It keeps getting linked, though, and just popped up on Hacker News, so here's sort of an update, although I haven't used Kafka at all this year so I don't really have any new information.

In the end, we managed to get things working with a Node.js client, although we continued to have problems, both with our code and with managing a Kafka/Zookeeper cluster generally. What made it worse was that I did not then, and do not now, believe that Kafka was the correct solution for that particular problem at that particular company. What they were trying to achieve could have been done more simply with any number of other messaging systems, with a subscriber reading messages off and writing

Uninstall nodejs from OSX Yosemite
# first:
lsbom -f -l -s -pf /var/db/receipts/org.nodejs.pkg.bom | while read f; do sudo rm /usr/local/${f}; done
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node /usr/local/lib/node_modules /var/db/receipts/org.nodejs.*
# To recap, the best way (I've found) to completely uninstall node + npm is to do the following:
# go to /usr/local/lib and delete any node and node_modules
cd /usr/local/lib
sudo rm -rf node*

I couldn't find a quick example of how to deploy a node.js app using Capistrano 3. This gist assumes you are using Capistrano 3, Upstart, Forever, ssh/forward agent, and an unprivileged user named 'deploy'. Hopefully this simple setup will help to get you started.
# config/deploy.rb
# probably a lot of ways to improve this...
set :application, 'my_app'
set :repo_url, '[email protected]:USERNAME/my_app.git'
# should set up a deploy user
set :user, 'deploy'
set :deploy_to, '/var/www/my_app'
set :scm, :git
