In the long-term, how different do you want to be from Apache Pulsar? At the moment, many differences are obvious, e.g., Pulsar offers transactions, queues and durable timers.

Can someone tell me what does this do? And why its better.

(Founder) There is a table on the landing page https://s2.dev/ which hopefully gives a nice overview :) It's like S3, but for streams. Cheap appends, and instead of dealing with blocks of data and byte ranges, you work with records. S2 takes care of ordering records, and letting you read from anywhere in the stream.

This is an alternative to systems like Kafka which don't do great at giving a serverless experience.
