From your comment it sounds like you haven't used Kinesis or Kafka yourself - rather than take my word for it, I'd suggest your team give both of those platforms a serious try-out to really understand the capability gaps. I'd

Pub/Sub is pretty meh. The Google Cloud team still don't seem to understand the need for a Kafka-like unified log service, unlike AWS (Kinesis is 2 years old this week) or even IBM Bluemix (who just launched Message Hub, which is

Very interesting! The missing piece seems to be versioning on the libraries, for example: lib:apache/aurora/0.5.x Without this, I can imagine a new version of Aurora introducing a new required config field, the Flabbergast library

So it follows: If you are betting on the outcome, then put your money on a smallish group, call it 10, of the ropeless competitors. If you are competing, make sure you have a rope, because coming 20th or 30th is a much better personal outco
