I have a question as a Senior Platform Engineer in charge of AWS in my company, claude-code supports both Bedrock and Mantle. I don't get what's the difference for me or any other engineer in my company to use Anthropic's models via Bedrock or Mantle?
Confluent had great stuff but their prices were crazy. When we got a quote from them, it was 20x more than what we could run on our own. We got quoted something like ~500k/year and my math on running it on AWS came around 25k for the same sized cluster via Strimzi operator on dedicated K8s nodes. We could hire a dedicated 3 person team to manage the cluster for the same price lol.
Now AWS is eating Confluent's lunch with it's managed Kafka. AWS MSK is still a little rough like all AWS services but it's still cheaper and a no-brainer if you are already on AWS.
