Adopt with guardrails

Why
Cost claims are large and corroborated by named production adopters (Grab, Palmpay 50%+, JD.com 40 GiB/s, LG U+ 2.2B msgs/day) and a third-party AWS blog, and Kafka-API compatibility lowers switching cost - but the OSS latency profile and the cost-vs-latency tradeoff mean it fits throughput/cost-bound workloads, not low-latency ones, without the enterprise tier or a low-latency WAL.
Next
Run a parallel AutoMQ cluster on a non-latency-critical high-volume topic (e.g., logs/metrics), measure real TCO and tail latency against current Kafka/MSK, and decide OSS-on-S3 vs enterprise/FSx WAL based on the latency requirement.
