AWS Kinesis
AWS Kinesis is a fully managed, scalable cloud service from Amazon Web Services for real-time data streaming and processing. It enables developers to collect, process, and analyze large streams of data records in real-time from sources like websites, mobile apps, IoT devices, and logs. Kinesis supports multiple services including Kinesis Data Streams for data ingestion, Kinesis Data Firehose for loading streams into data stores, and Kinesis Data Analytics for real-time analytics.
Developers should use AWS Kinesis when building applications that require real-time data processing, such as real-time analytics, log and event data collection, IoT data streaming, or clickstream analysis. It is ideal for scenarios where low-latency data ingestion and processing are critical, such as monitoring applications, fraud detection, or live dashboards, and it integrates seamlessly with other AWS services like Lambda, S3, and Redshift.
