Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Adopt with guardrails

Why
Mature, widely covered, Kafka-protocol-compatible with a strong cost story and Confluent backing; the latency profile is the only real constraint and is well-documented with tunable mitigations
Next
Run a BYOC PoC on analytics/high-throughput topics, measure latency vs SLOs, and only enable S3 Express/Lightning Topics where sub-100ms is genuinely required (verifying ordering/transaction needs first)
