2,603 current US openings mention Apache Kafka — rank 1 of 5 in streaming.
Roles mentioning Apache Kafka that were actually open on each of the last 2 days: 1,097 on 2026-09-11, 69 on 2026-09-12.
Counted from a daily record of which postings were still listed, so it reflects roles open on each day rather than roles posted. The vertical axis starts at the period low (69) rather than zero, which exaggerates the shape — the two numbers above the chart are the actual values. Days on which the collection did not run a complete pass are excluded rather than drawn as a dip.
