Repository pattern in Go service
Throughput vs Storage: Kafka vs Database 📊
Database:
• High Storage (billions of records)
• Low Throughput (writes/sec limited)
• Complex queries possible ✓
Kafka:
• Very High Throughput (millions/sec!)
• Low Storage (temporary)
• No queries (only sequential)
They don't compete. They complement each other.
Use database for storage, Kafka for streaming.

When no one is responsible, responsibility disappears.

Power has scaled globally. Responsibility has not.
Modern systems function by design around a moral minimum:
If it’s legal and profitable, it’s acceptable.
But legality is not morality—and no system survives indefinitely without accountability.
“A system can be legal, efficient, and socially destructive at the same time.”
