Their "managed" kafka service is even bigger clusterfuck
- Doesn't expose metrics via JMX port
- Doesn't support version upgrade
- Doesn't support schema versioning afaik
- Doesn't support adding a node or two to an existing cluster
I could go on...

Also Kafka and Zookeeper are just about the last things I'd want sealed away in a black box.
- Doesn't expose metrics via JMX but does provide a nice tool called confluent control center for monitoring and managing kafka cluster - Built in and Managed Schema Registry
but - AFAIK they won't reveal cluster size or cluster version (except client compability). So, they do scaling and upgrades automatically. It's a double edged-sword but should work for lot of orgs.
- Overall, definitely a better product than aws msk.
