One downside of SQS is that it doesn't support fan-out, for eg. S3->SQS->multiple consumers. The recommendation instead seems to be to first push to SNS, and then hookup SQS/other consumers to it. Kinesis/Kafka would appear to be better suited for this (since they support fan-out like SNS and are pull-based like SQS), but aren't as well supported as SNS/SQS (you can't push S3 events directly to Kinesis for eg.) Can someone from AWS comment on why that is? Also, related: when can we expect GA for Kafka (MSK)?

Generally they do GA in the next ReInvent from when as service is announced, so probably by end of year. But I won't be sure on MSK. It is extremely limited right now, last time I checked their API had no way for even changing the number of nodes.
