Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Stateless streaming with no partitions to manage - scale by adding more agents (running in containers). Works with S3 and compatible object storage. Kafka-protocol compatible for drop-in replacement. Avoids inter-zone networking to minimize network costs. Avoids data loss by waiting for writes to object storage to succeed before returning.

Tradeoffs

End to end producer to consumer p99 latency of \~1 sec. Schema validation & autoscaling in beta.
