Firehose is somewhat different from kinesis itself.
I think it’s like the difference between Kafka and Flink.
Kafka is just a stream like kinesis, which is a standard type of message broker.
However, Flink is a “stateful stream” which is a weird piece of architecture that I’ve only recently started getting somewhat familiar with.

Oh yeah, absolutely.
That’s why I try to just categorize the product/service offering into what it is in a cloud agnostic manner.
e.g. what I did above with those solutions being categorized as “message brokers”
