As someone who has done a lot of work with AWS, I have at times in the past picked the wrong one of Kinesis vs SQS for different workloads - largely due to my inexperience with Kafka and similar at the time, and misunderstanding the point of some of the "benefits" that I saw for using Kinesis vs SQS. Most of those times, I would have been better suited to a combo SQS/SNS for fanning out (something a helpful HN reader actually suggested to me!).
Anyway, EventBridge steps in perfectly for most of those use cases, my new projects are using it, and I am considering going back to some old services and reworking them to use EventBridge instead. The rules/filtering parts in particular are going to let me decom several lambdas and save money. Definitely worth people investigating.
