If you were building something today that looked like Apache Kafka like we did with WarpStream, you would take a really different approach than was taken back in 2011 when Kafka was first designed, and so that's why we think now's a really good time for us to build something new that can actually meaningfully drive down costs and operational burden for people.
And a lot of the really hard problems around data durability and replication that Kafka had to solve on its own by copying the data three times, replicating it and making sure that data was never lost, we're able to offload those problems to the object storage layer itself, and that ends up making the system a lot easier and cheaper to operate.
