What is Amazon Kinesis?
This revision card explains What is Amazon Kinesis? It starts from the need that batch ETL every night is too late for fraud, clickstream, or IoT alarms. It describes kinesis ingests and processes streaming data in near real time (Data Streams, Firehose, Data Analytics). The how-to section notes producers PutRecords , then stream shards , then consumers (Lambda, Flink, Firehose to S3). An example on the card is POS scanners stream sales events; a consumer updates a live dashboard in seconds.
