How I can use Kafka after release 24.2
Hi Support team,
I received the mail: "CAD-B14329: FECRDT - Extending Support for Embedded Hazelcast" mention that :
"Please Note
This extension is for embedded Hazelcast only. Cassandra, Kafka, and Elasticsearch must still be externalized by the Infinity ’24.2 release."
I know that when I register the agent to run in the background, Pega use the kafka to store the primary page for the agent activity executing. So by the 24.2 release, what should I do, does Pega have a alternative solution or Pega will use the externalized kafka or I have to integrate a separated kafka installed by my team ?

@DucN8366 I found the following info within this document: External Kafka in your deployment (pega.com)
Externalize the stream functionality in your Pega Platform™ version 8.4 and later by deploying an external Kafka cluster in your organization's infrastructure or using a third-party managed Kafka service.
Pega does not include Kafka as a part of Pega Platform. This means that you need to deploy a Kafka service in your organization’s infrastructure to provide a source of data streaming for your application

Hi @PhilipShannon,
I'm confusing about your answer. My Pega is 8.5.3 and we have Kafka installed OTB.
When I call the method Queue-For-Processing in the activity to register an activity to execute asynchronously I sometimes get the error of the Kafka about the size of the primary page is too big.
