dgrove-oss commented on issue #446: Add support for external Kafka as an option URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-deploy-kube/issues/446#issuecomment-479701187 Hi. External Kafka is probably a questionable choice because Kakfa is on the critical path (between the Controller and Invoker). A better approach (and what is done in production deployments of OpenWhisk on Kubernetes for IBM Cloud Functions) is to deploy a replicated Kafka within the same Kubernetes cluster as the rest of the OpenWhisk control plane. External database is sensible for production (and the Helm chart does support that already). It would be better to work on extending the chart to support replicated Kafka.
