Is it a companion relationship? Haha, if the application is rich enough, and if CDC is used, is it likely to use Kafka, and will it be Pulsar in the future?

I feel that most of those using TiDB also have Kafka, and there is this Kafka port detection in the monitoring parameters. But there are also those who don’t use it. What about other databases? How should the detection for the port detection service be written?

I feel that Kafka is now being used in too many scenarios.
