Hi Aashish, It's not 100% applicable to your use case, but there was a great talk at SpingOne Platform by Paul Perez in which he discussed the trade-offs and hows of replacing Kafka and several other tools with Geode in one of their projects: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60xrULf5zjU
This might make you aware of some other possibilities Geode might open up for you that Kafka would not. He also does a good job explaining when you should clearly use Kafka and not Geode.
