Re: [aerogear-dev] Push modules (was Re: UPS: Admin UI)

Hi Matthias, Can we have a discussion about this before it progresses too far.

I have some fairly serious concerns [1] about the resource requirements needed to run a Kafka deployment in a production environment and am not convinced that putting Kafka into the mix here is the right approach.

Are we over complicating push to optimise for the corner cases here?

What would a "Starter" deployment look like in terms of resource usage?

Would it fit in an OpenShift Online free tier?

Cheers, John.
