some additional context here is that warpstream is building a Kakfa compatible streaming system that uses s3 as the object store. This allows them to leverage cheap zone transfer costs for redundancy + automatic storage tiering to cut down on the costs of running and maintaining these systems. This has previously come at the cost of latency due to s3's read/write speeds but with S3 this makes them more competitive with Confluent Kafka's managed offerings for these latency sensitive applications.

IMO warpstream is a really cool product and this new S3 offering makes them even better
