So is this a "serverless" named-pipe-as-a-service cloud offering? Or am I misreading?

#52It looks neat but, no Java SDK? Every company I've personally worked at is deeply reliant on Spring or the vanilla clients to produce/consume to Kafka 90% of the time. This kind of precludes even a casual PoC.

#53Help me understand - you build on top of AWS, which charges $0.09/GB for egress to the Internet, yet you're charging $0.05/GB for egress to the Internet? Sounds like you're subsidizing egress from AWS? Or do you have access to non-public egress pricing?

#54This is a really good idea, beautiful API, and something that I would like to use for my projects. However I have zero confidence that this startup would last very long in its current form. If it's successful, AWS will build a better and cheaper in-house version. It's just as likely to fail to get traction.
If this had been released instead as a Papertrail-like end-user product with dashboards, etc. instead of a "cloud primitive" API so closely tied to AWS, it would make a lot more sense. Add the ability to bring my own S3-Compatible backend (such as Digital Ocean Spaces), and boom, you have a fantastic, durable, cloud-agnostic product.

#55I wish more dev-tools startups would focus on clearly explaining the business use cases, targeting a slightly broader audience beyond highly technical users. I visited several pages on the site before eventually giving up. I can sort of grasp what the S2 team is aiming to achieve, but it feels like I’m forced to perform unnecessary mental gymnastics to connect their platform with the specific problems it can solve fo…
(Founder) Appreciate the feedback. We will try to do a better job on the messaging. It is geared at being a building block for data systems. The landing page has a section talking about some of the patterns it enables (Decouple / Buffer / Journal) in a serverless manner, with example use cases. It just may not be something that resonates with you though! We are interested in adoption by developers for now.

Yep. Just tack "serverless" onto something that already exists and charge for it

(Founder) we do intend to be multi-cloud, we are just starting with AWS. Our internal architecture is not tied to AWS, it's interfaces that we can implement for other cloud systems.

(Founder) Named pipe that operates at the level of records, is durable regionally, you can read from any sequence, and lets you do concurrency control for writes if you need to.

#59My first thought: "introducing? The S2 has been out for a while!"

#60These folks knowingly chose to spend the rest of their careers explaining that they are not, in fact, S3.
(Founder) well 50% of our name is different
Props to you for having a sense of humor about it. :D
If I could put in one request...a video which describes what it is and how to use it would make it easier for me to understand.
