ksqlDB is great for
* SQL Interface
* Real-Time Streaming Processing
* Integration with Kafka
* Stateful Processing
* Scalability
* Security
However, there are also limitations with ksqlDB:
* Deep Coupling with Kafka
* Heavy Resource Consumption
* Not Designed for Analytics
* Not True Open-Source
There are lots of similarities between Proton and ksqlDB. Both support:
* Stateful streaming processing
* Data persistence
* Stream/table concept
* Dual query mode, long running, unbounded push based query and bounded, pull base query
* Query Kafka data and write analytic results back to Kafka
Most features of ksqlDB can be found in Proton, while Proton offers additional benefits:
* Proton demonstrates stronger performance
* Proton is more flexible when consuming Kafka data
* Proton is purpose designed for analytic workloads
* Support complex computing by JavaScript UDF (User Defined Function)
* Proton is more developer friendly
