Amazon Kinesis Data Streams Documentation

Amazon Kinesis Data Streams is a scalable, durable, streaming data service. Kinesis Data Streams can continuously capture gigabytes of data per second from sources such as website clickstreams, database event streams, financial transactions, social media feeds, IT logs, and location-tracking events. The collected data is available in milliseconds to allow real-time analytics use cases, such as real-time dashboards, real-time anomaly detection, dynamic pricing.

There are no servers to manage with Amazon Kinesis Data Streams. The on-demand mode further scales capacity when there is an increase in workload traffic. 

Synchronously replicate your streaming data across multiple Availability Zones (AZs) in an AWS Region, and store that data to provide multiple layers of data loss protection.

You can attach multiple consumers to your Kinesis data stream, each with its own dedicated read throughput.

You can choose between on-demand mode for automated capacity management, and provisioned mode for granular control over scaling capacity up and down as needed.

Use Kinesis Data Streams integrations with other AWS services to build complete applications quickly.
