(Founder) It's a number of dimensions. I get excited about the ordered throughput angle because I have personally cared about this in the past, and yeah a lot of folks may not need that :)
Simple API, reasonable pricing, latency flexibility, unlimited streams, _and_ elastic to high throughputs. All adding up to a great serverless experience.
Re: the data colocation. This is how most multi-tenant systems - including S3 itself AFAIU - operate. I understand there is a difference in level of trust vs a cloud provider, and the best we can do here while delivering a serverless experience is encrypting every single record at the edge of S2 where they transit in or out, with a tenant-specific key. We may even allow specifying it as part of the request, if clients want to manage the key for themself.
The best data security when leveraging any multi-tenant service is going to be client-side encryption, and we also want to make this super easy. With our planned Kafka layer, we plan on client-side encryption as a value add.
