Bhushan's response indicates that he has experience with Kafka for data streaming and has used a custom version of Kafka Connect for data ingestion. He explains the scalability benefits of Kafka Streams and the flexibility of Kafka Connect. However, the response could be more structured and focused on specific enhancements made to data ingestion and integration processes. Bhushan could improve by providing a clearer explanation of how Kafka Streams and Kafka Connect were specifically utilized in the project and the tangible benefits they provided, as seen in the benchmark response.
