Oh man, I can't wait until these people get their first S3 bill for the number or GET requests.

[WarpStream co-founder here]

My co-founder and I worked at Datadog for over 3 years where we built Husky, an event storage and query system built directly on top of S3 as well. We know what we're doing here, I promise ;)

What happens if I pull the plug on a server that hasn't flushed to S3 in the configured time? Do I loose that event?

With an appropriately configured client (i.e. one that retries and waits for requests to be acknowledged), another Agent would receive the retry and the event would be written to the topic at that time.

If there's one company that's known for blowing up budgets as you scale, it's Datadog. Hoping WarpStream doesn't follow that playbook.

Best wishes!
