WarpStream

Kafka is dead, long live Kafka

WarpStream is an Apache Kafka protocol compatible data streaming platform built directly on top of S3. It's delivered as a single, stateless Go binary, so there are no local disks to manage, no brokers to rebalance, and no ZooKeeper to operate. WarpStream is 5-10x cheaper than Kafka in the cloud because data streams directly to and from S3 instead of using inter-zone networking, which can be over 80% of the infrastructure cost of a Kafka deployment at scale.
