Value Statement

Ensure the issue title clearly reflects the value of this user story to the
intended persona. (Explain the "WHY")

Since we transitioned Kafka from Zookeeper to KRaft (dual-mode), the broker and controller now run on a single node. This has resulted in higher memory consumption during large simulation tests. Therefore, we need a solution to reduce the memory footprint if the customer is concerned about memory usage.

Definition of Done for Engineering Story Owner (Checklist)

• Limit Kafka's JVM consumption during the large-scale simulation
• Compare the performance impact at this scale with the constrained configuration
• Provide recommendations for reducing Kafka's memory footprint
