What engineers 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.
Trade-offs & limitations:
End to end producer to consumer p99 latency of \~1 sec. Schema validation & autoscaling in beta.

I'm a long time reader of HN and some articles have been really inspiring for me. "Kafka is dead, long live Kafka" by the Warpstream team is one of those: https://www.warpstream.com/blog/kafka-is-dead-long-live-kafk... At the time, I was working on a team pushing terabytes of logs through Kafka. A stateless broker backed by S3 would have saved us many headac

# Design Brief: Soft & Friendly (with Enterprise Clean)

Warm low-saturation pastels, generous rounded corners, and approachable illustrations.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #f8f8f8;
  --surface: #ffffff;
  --foreground: #040531;
  --muted-foreground: #110048;
  --accent: #3a21ed;
  --radius: 4px;
  --font-heading: "Plus Jakarta Sans", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Plus Jakarta Sans", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #F8F8F8 (~81%) · Surface #FFFFFF (~7%) · Text #040531 (~6%) · Muted Text #110048 (~3%) · Accent #3A21ED (~3%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Split Copy & Visual
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Light · Balanced
- Border radius & elevation: Small Radius; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: 3D Render / Tactile Object
- Conversion CTA: Start Free / Sign Up · Trust bar uses Customer / Press Logo Strip
- Headline hook: Category Positioning Anchor
- Hero components: Customer Logo Wall, Large Hero Product Shot
- Spatial layout notes: Split Copy & Visual hero structure paired with start free / sign up CTA and customer / press logo strip.
- Visual summary: Soft & Friendly (Light canvas, balanced density) featuring split copy & visual layout and 3d render / tactile object visuals.

## Avoid

- Harsh pure-black backgrounds
- Sharp 0px corners
- Cold technical jargon in hero copy

Implement the UI following the design tokens and layout specifications above: use only these color variables, and reserve the accent color strictly for primary actions and active states. Adopt only this visual style—never copy any reference product’s brand name, logo, copy, or imagery.
