For Kafka brokers, auto-scaling is complicated because of their architecture. Adding or removing brokers is simple. But directing some load to them is complicated because they are in a way form of data storage. And moving the whole partitions between brokers is expensive. The partitions often contain huge amounts of data which need to be shifted from one broker to another - that will take time, it will have a performance penalty on the other traffic and possibly cost even real money for the data transfers.

Firstly, I suggest revisiting your CV. Perhaps you could get a professional resume consultant or a trusted friend to take a look at it. They might provide some valuable feedback. Also, try tailoring your cover letters and CVs to match the requirements of each job. This could potentially increase your success rate.

Secondly, try broadening your job search channels. In addition to traditional job websites, consider participating in industry-related online events or forums. This could not only expand your network but also possibly uncover some hidden job opportunities.

Lastly, regarding your job gap, you can explain in interviews that it was due to the pandemic. I believe most employers would understand. Meanwhile, you could use this time to upskill or do some volunteer work, so your CV won't look empty.

Remember, everyone faces setbacks on their job-seeking journey. The key is to maintain a positive attitude and keep learning and improving. Good luck!
