title: Can I have 100s of thousands of topics in a Kafka Cluster?
body: <p>I have a data flow use case where I want to have topics defined based on each of the customer repositories (which might be in the order of 100,000s) Each data flow would be a topic with partitions (in the order of a few 10s) defining the different stages of the flow.</p>
  
  <p>Is Kafka good for a scenario like this? If not how would I remodel my use case to handle such scenarios. Also it is the case that each customer repository data cannot be mingled with others even during processing.</p>
