When should you use Kafka instead of RabbitMQ for event streaming?

hey everyone, i'm architecting a new system that will involve a ton of event streaming. we're looking at both kafka and rabbitmq, but the choice feels pretty big for future scalability and maintenance. kafka seems powerful for high-throughput, ordered events, especially for log aggregation and stream processing. rabbitmq, on the other hand, feels more traditional for message queuing, with flexible routing and easier management for simpler tasks. what are your real-world experiences? when did you choose one over the other, and why? any pitfalls to watch out for with either
