What's a risk of designing microservice boundaries around Kafka topics without thinking through ownership first?
If it's unclear which service 'owns' writing to a given topic (its schema, its meaning), multiple producers can end up disagreeing about what a message means or its exact shape, causing consumers to break unpredictably — clear single-writer ownership per topic is a foundational microservices-with-Kafka design decision, not an afterthought.
