Fun anecdote; a couple years ago I started writing a Kafka alternative in C++ with a friend. I got pretty far, but abandoned the project.

We called it `tuberculosis`, or `tube` for short; of course, that is what killed Kafka.

"Consumption" works too :)

Assuming topics are consumed in your version, a la Kafka.

Imagine talking to your clients about tech stacks and "we're running tuberculosis" comes up... while people are dying from it.

You just say "well, the alternative was Kafka" and they'd surely get it. Or not. Either way we imagined it to be hilarious.
