Amazon Kinesis
About Amazon Kinesis
Amazon Kinesis is a data analysis solution that helps businesses collect, process, and analyze real-time, streaming data and generate insights into customer behavior from within a unified platform. It enables team members to process streaming data at any scale, whilst choosing the tools that best suit the requirements of the application.
With the Data Firehose tool, staff members can handle business intelligence processes by capturing, transforming, and loading data streams into AWS stores and generating real-time analytics. It also lets users handle syntax highlighting, manage validations, and access context-sensitive suggestions to process data using SQL, Scala, or Python.

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

High Availability and Durability
Reviewed on 2023/03/29
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.

A well built advanced analytics tool with good scalability, maintainance and integration capabilities to make data more meaningful.
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.
