Not strange at all. Turkey is in an interesting position of being quite comfortable with the US, Russia, and the Middle East, and China. The only major world power that Turkey is not in good graces with is the EU. Turkey is also a massive n

Exactly. There are no guarantees that abuse-prevention policies will remain in existence, since such provisions can be ignored by secret policy (national security) or overturned by political football.

One main advantage is that Kinesis is elastic -- it scales automatically based on load. Managing a Kafka cluster is an unnecessary task with Kinesis available, which alleviates quite a bit of headache.
