Amazon Kinesis
Amazon Kinesis is a fully managed, scalable cloud service from AWS for real-time data streaming and analytics. It enables the collection, processing, and analysis of streaming data such as application logs, website clickstreams, IoT telemetry, and social media feeds. Kinesis provides low-latency capabilities to ingest and process large volumes of data in real-time, making it ideal for building responsive applications and dashboards.
Developers should learn Amazon Kinesis when building applications that require real-time data processing, such as monitoring systems, fraud detection, live analytics, or IoT data pipelines. It is particularly useful in scenarios where low-latency data ingestion and processing are critical, as it integrates seamlessly with other AWS services like Lambda, S3, and Redshift for end-to-end data workflows. Use cases include real-time log analysis, video streaming analytics, and dynamic pricing models in e-commerce.
