I love companies developing a product also offering a managed implementation as a service, but I cannot find the pricing.

Any time it seems like I have to establish some sort of relationship and get an enterprise tailored solution, I no longer feel like I'm part of a public and elastic market.

Talked with one of the sales reps, starts at $1500/month.

From what they said multi-tenant is about a month a way and self service cloud early next year.

I beleive the phrase is "If you have to ask you can't afford it”.

Hehe, that only applies to luxury goods, which are decooupled from supply/demand rules.

I'm familiar, I emailed over a week ago with my usecase (change data capture with debezium and postgres at small scale) and asked for some basic pricing information in comparison to Kinesis. I never received a response so I assumed you were looking for bigger enterprise customers right now.

I talked to one of Confluent's sales reps, who said this service starts at around $1,500/month on the low end.

Definitely not for a startup whose monthly Kinesis bill is a few hundred dollars, which is a shame because Kakfa is better in several ways.

When you don't show any information about pricing at all on your page, you're obviously not meant for small-scale use.

Interesting to know about if I want to introduce Kafka in a bigger project, though.

I guess no pricing means I cannot afford it. :(

Is this ready now? We talked to the team during early access but never got any followup.
