Eventual Consistency: The pattern ensures eventual consistency which guarantees that, given enough time, all systems will eventually reach a consistent state. See Failure Scenarios and Resolution for more about consistency.

Loose Coupling: The event-based and asynchronous communication enables loose coupling between systems, allowing them to operate independently.

Scalability: Asynchronous message processing with Kafka allows for scalable and distributed processing of events.

Improved Responsiveness: Asynchronous processing enables systems to handle requests more quickly, as tasks can be processed in the background.

High Availability: Kafka’s distributed architecture and the ability to retry and reprocess messages enhance the overall availability of the system.

Stateless: The adapter is stateless and does not require any persistence or database.
