Hey Richie, As you seem to support the Kafka + Kinesis(?) API: We have developed Kadeck (kadeck.com), a control plane and collaboration layer for Kafka & Kinesis teams. I have looked at the documentation and reckon we should be supporting a lot of Warpstream already. Is there any quick way to test this out? Would love to share this with our users!

Whether dead or alive, there's no denying that Kafka, or data streaming in general, is one of the most exciting fields today. Happy to welcome a new member!

Hey, I know about Nats but haven't thought about integrating it yet. We built Kadeck so that the streaming engine is interchangeable (hence the Kinesis support - and I think Jetstream is very similar to it). So in principle it would be possible. Do you just use Nats Jetstream? Or do you use Nats with Kafka? I will have a look at it!
