About Amazon Kinesis

Amazon Kinesis is a data analysis solution that helps organizations ingest real-time data in various categories, such as audio, application logs, videos, IoT telemetry data, and website clickstreams to optimize machine learning and analysis operations. It allows supervisors to access long-running, stateful computations to trigger real-time actions and detect anomalies based on historic data trends.

Amazon Kinesis enables team members to create application backups, process data using SQL, Python, or Scala, generate visualizations, and manage top-K analysis, among other operations. Pricing is available on request and support is extended via FAQs, documentation, email, and other online measures.

Message broker with amazing integration with AWS services

We use it as part of a streaming pipeline. It helps with back-pressure when there is a sudden burst in the events and it also allows us to consume data in parallel.

Pros:

easy integration with AWS lambda, kinesis firehose (s3) and third party software ( ex: splunk)

Cons:

No autoscaling for now. For now we are setting alarms when there is an increase in the incoming data and then we scale it manually. We are thinking of automating this process with cloudwatch+ sns+ lambda

Pros:

When it comes to availability, durability, and scalability, it is one of the best performant products for data streaming I have already used. It can also integrate with a lot of AWS services.

Cons:

Other than the expertise in streaming data it needs, it also can incur high costs depending on the data stored and processed.

Pros:

Used it as a basis for distributing information for IOT, multiple databases including SQL and NoSql, websites, that was used as a message queuing flow all put together. Can monitor all the IOT sensors information with its reporting and processing information. The data streaming events are fast and you can perform create, del, update and read (CRUD) operations on them, with good data retention. For the case of ML you can use it to find data anomalies.

Cons:

Not much of a community base for doubt clearing, troubleshooting issues and solving problems. When went through the documentation, found it difficult to understand and confusing.

Easy integration with other services

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

One of the best features of Amazon Kinesis is the easy integration of it with other AWS services. We often require the streaming data from Kinesis to be stored and later analyzed. This requires easy integration with services like Lambda, S3, Data lakes etc. This can be done very easily in the case of Kinesis.

Cons:

There is very less visibility when the data is within AWS Kinesis. The user of the data has not idea where it resides. This is specially important in situations where there are drop in messages. Although its not an exact science Kinesis can make it better.
