Java - out of the box, is horrendous on resources. Spring Boot makes things worse still. Sure, there's things you can do to minimise these (and overall artefact size), like jlink or native compilation, or using a different JVM, configuring memory limits, etc etc etc...

But I'm curious why your team weren't already aware of this core difference between Node and Java, why did you have to prove it to them?

Java vs NodeJS is just one of the reasons.
But the other is fear of NodeJS + KafkaJS stack.
KafkaJS stood with all tests.
There are more reasons but do not wish to pen down here :)
