Do we need a kafka broker for intra-LL alert processing and generation?
As of 2021-10-06, it appears that we are gearing toward retaining the way search pipelines communicate with GraceDB to be the same as in O3, i.e., via direct uploads there and without the utilization of any streaming fabric standing between the two.
Does this mean we do not need any kafka broker specific to processing and generating our alerts? If we still need such thing, we will need to set up a sample kafka broker ASAP and start integration/testing.
