       | Great quick exit for the Warpstream team.

       | Funny to see people still trying the "our product will be even
       | better" line at acquisition.

       | Great to see. Warpstream's architecture was quite promising and

       | One curious question: why couldn't Confluent build their own
       | Warpstream, or pioneer one themselves, these last few years? The
       | space seems quite close to their technology and the needs of
       | their customers. "Lack of talent" or "disorganization" would be a
       | dispiriting answer.
