Preflight optimization

Embedded Kafka deployments
Starting with Pega Platform version 8.7, the use of an internal Kafka database is deprecated. On-premises systems that have been updated from earlier versions of Pega Platform can continue to use Kafka in embedded mode. However, to ensure future compatibility, do not create any new environments using embedded Kafka.
