I don't have this on authority, but I believe Kinesis Streams is an AWS-maintained fork of Kafka around 0.7. Firehose is a wrapper around Lambda + Kinesis Streams. And Kinesis Analytics is a SQLStream wrapper with Kinesis Streams as its input. That's my best understanding, anyway.
- coredog64 8y agoI heard a rumor that Amazon wanted to offer Kafka as a managed service, couldn't get it to work they way they wanted, and then said "f--k this" and wrote something that is functionally similar.
- pixelmonkey 8y agoThat's wholly possible. They might have just copied the "rough design" of topics/consumers and queue-as-log, but clean-house implemented it. I wouldn't be surprised. Kafka was a pretty minimal codebase at that stage.
