Hey Jeremiah, That’s a good question, and it ultimately will come down to what you need.
For instance, maybe you have an existing Dropwizard that you’d like to *also *consume messages in addition to whatever else it’s doing. Maybe having a http health check, and an admin page that’s familiar is beneficial. Spark streaming, and Samza (which sorry if this is wrong, not super familiar with it) would require you to set up a cluster, and maybe that’s not worth it in all cases, though I can definitely see them being useful pretty broadly. Or maybe you’re just wanting to use the Kafka streams APIs (which granted, what I have now in dropwizard-Kafka doesn’t support), which again doesn’t require a cluster, but gives some of the features of spark streaming (and Samza?). Just some thoughts, hopefully that clarifies.
