KIP-1150 Diskless Topics cost savings compared to Confluent Freight

TL;DR KIP-1150 introduces Diskless Kafka topics that write directly to S3 instead of replicating between brokers. It literally reduces costs by 5x+ off of the most optimized Kafka deployment (10x+ otherwise) and brings operational benefits for diskless topics like: no disk management headaches, instant broker scaling, and simplified load balancing.
