Amazon MSK Express Now Streams Kafka Data Directly to S3

Amazon MSK Express brokers can now deliver Apache Kafka data straight to S3 buckets with zero manual connector management. This fully managed feature automatically scales to 10 GB/s throughput, handles retries and backpressure on its own, and cuts costs by up to 60% compared to self-managed solutions. Perfect for log archival, compliance, and ML training pipelines.
