To me, I could make the connection in the sense that just like sqlite, rocksdb is an embedded store, while Kafka can be used to build a replicated log (log device).

Well, that was GP's point, too? In addition, they mention that existing DBMS like Postgres have way more breath and depth than a replicated sqlite can ever hope to have (which isn't really a controversial assertion at all, tbh).
