Mark, For activity on the mailing list, take a look at these metrics - http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-kafka-dev/ http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-kafka-users/
For activity of the committers and the development - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA#selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project%3Aissues-panel A full-fledged comparison can be quite lengthy. Would you mind describing your case ? We can discuss the available alternatives and how Kafka would fit in. Kafka has been deployed in production at LinkedIn for over a year and a half. I believe there are other smaller startups using it too, and more in the pipeline.
