Be interesting to see how well they do.

Most of the Kafka deployments I've seen in recent years have been using cloud versions e.g. AWS Managed Kafka.

So it's great that you save money on compute but it does mean you are now operating it yourself which then costs money.

Indeed, operating Kafka can be challenging and complex due to its nature as a stateful and distributed system.

However, AutoMQ has adopted a cloud-native architecture, offloading storage to EBS and S3(https://docs.automq.com/docs/automq-s3kafka/Q8fNwoCDGiBOV6k8...), eliminating the need for replication and rendering the Broker stateless, which simplifies operations significantly.
