Eh. The ALB/ELB/NLB section is off the mark for failing to consider inter-AZ costs, perplexingly indicates NLB has something to do with TLS, even more perplexingly suggests NLB as the default choice. Dynamo isn't something I'd suggest at all unless one has well studied the costs and benefits. Kinesis is not much like SQS, and new users might be more interested in EventBridge...

As someone who has done a lot of work with AWS, I have at times in the past picked the wrong one of Kinesis vs SQS for different workloads - largely due to my inexperience with Kafka and similar at the time, and misunderstanding the point of some of the "benefits" that I saw for using Kinesis vs SQS. Most of those times, I would have been better suited to a combo SQS/SNS for fanning out (something a helpful HN reader actually suggested to me!).
Anyway, EventBridge steps in perfectly for most of those use cases, my new projects are using it, and I am considering going back to some old services and reworking them to use EventBridge instead. The rules/filtering parts in particular are going to let me decom several lambdas and save money. Definitely worth people investigating.
