Introduction

Amazon Kinesis is one of the best-managed services that scale particularly flexibly, especially for processing real-time data at a massive site. These services can collect large streams of data records mainly consumed by the application process running on Amazon EC2 instances. This Amazon Kinesis is used to collect, streamline the processes and analyze data so we can easily get perfect insights and quick responses concerning the information.

 

AWS Kinesis
It also offers key features at a cost-effective price to handle rationalized data on a concrete scale with flexible tools per needs and requirements.
Through Amazon Kinesis, you can also get real-time data such as video, audio, application logs, as well as clickstreams for websites, machine learning, and other applications. This new technique from Amazon allows you to analyze and process data immediately instead of waiting long hours after data collection.
Amazon Kinesis is also well used to solve many problems, which was officially launched in November 2013 during the Rebirth conferences. Kinesis is specifically designed to collect data from thousands and hundreds of different sources by bringing it under one roof through group filtering, aggregation, and performing simple manipulations when transferring data from a source location to an end location.
Amazon Kinesis is here to enable the process and analyze the data shortly after it arrives and reacts in real-time, rather than waiting for the data to be collected before the process has even begun. It is highly scalable and supports proof-of-concept or other evaluations.
1. Real-Time: Amazon Kinesis allows you to receive, store and process data in real-time. Insights can be easily derived within seconds or minutes.
2. Fully managed: Amazon Kinesis can easily run streaming applications and can be fully managed without any infrastructure management requirement.
3. Scalability: Amazon Kinesis can easily handle any amount of streaming data and can easily process data from thousands of sources with low latency.

What is Amazon Kinesis Stream?

This Amazon Kinesis Stream mostly collects and processes huge amounts of data records in real-time. Data processing applications called Amazon Kinesis Streams Applications can be easily created. Typical kinesis stream applications read data from a Kinesis stream as data records. Processed data records can be easily sent to dashboards that can easily generate alerts; the data can also be sent with several other AWS reports that are used to generate alerts dynamically.
Here are typical Amazon Kinesis Stream usage scenarios:
 
1. Accelerated reception and processing of records and data sources: Producers can easily send data to the stream via a direct route. Application systems and protocols are easy to port and easy to handle. It mostly prevents frontend log data loss or application server failure. It mostly provides accelerated data to help feed the revenue that can easily lead to data on the servers.
2. Real-time metrics and reports: It is possible to easily use the data collected by Kinesis Streams with simple data analysis and real-time reporting. One can easily handle the processing of data applications and work on metrics and reports for system and application logs that are completely flowing into the data.
3. Real-time data analysis: This real-time data analysis mostly combines the power of parallel processing with the real-time value of the data. One can easily process website clickstreams using real-time scenarios. Web usability engagement analysis using several different kinesis stream applications running in parallel.
4. Complex flow processing: One can easily create directed acyclic graphs using Amazon Kinesis streaming applications and data streams. It mostly involves feeding data from multiple Amazon Kinesis Streams applications into another stream, followed by processing with different Amazon Kinesis Streams Applications.

What is AWS Kinesis Firehose?

Amazon Kinesis Firehose is a completely fully managed service for delivering real-time streaming data to destinations such as Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service), Amazon Elasticsearch Service, or Amazon Redshift. It is fully integrated with the Kinesis Streaming data platform with Amazon Kinesis Analytics and Kinesis Streams.
With the help of Kinesis Firehose, it is easy to write applications or manage resources. Data Producers can be easily configured to send data to Kinesis Firehose, which can automatically deliver the data to the desired destination field. You can also easily configure Kinesis Firehose to transform data before it is delivered.

These are some important features of Kinesis Firehose:

1. Amazon Kinesis Data Streams: Amazon Kinesis Data Streams  Amazon Kinesis Streams are used to collect and process huge streams of data records in real-time. AWS Kinesis Data Stream Applications, which are data processing applications, can be created. These applications read from the data stream in the form of data records. They use the Kinesis Client Library for these operations and can run on Amazon EC2 instances. Processed logs can be sent to AWS dashboards and used to generate alerts, send data to other AWS services, and dynamically change advertising and pricing strategies.
2. Data producer: AWS Kinesis Data Firehose provides the ability to load data streams into AWS data stores. Kinesis Data Firehose provides the simplest approach to capture, transform, and load data streams into AWS data stores. Automatic scaling management in the gigabytes per second range and support for batching, encryption, and compression of streaming data are also essential features in Amazon Kinesis Firehose. Firehose also helps when streaming to RedShift, S3, or Elastic Search to copy data for processing by other services.
3. Buffer size and buffer interval: Kinesis Data Firehose buffers incoming streaming data to a certain size or for some time before delivering it to the targets. The buffer size and buffer interval are configurable when creating the delivery stream. The buffer size is in MB and ranges from 1 MB to 128 MB for the S3 target and 1 MB to 100 MB for the Elasticsearch target. The buffer interval is in seconds and ranges from 60 seconds to 900 seconds. Firehose dynamically increases the buffer size to catch up and ensure that all data is delivered to the destination. If data delivery to the destination lags behind data being written to the delivery stream the buffer size is applied before compression.

What are the benefits of AWS Kinesis?

The main benefits of AWS Kinesis are listed below:

1. Real-Time: Kinesis Streams provide real-time data processing reliably and flexibly. Once data is generated, complex business information and various operations can be easily continuously collected and promptly responded to optimally.

2. Ease of use: A Kinesis Stream is created in seconds. The required data can be easily placed into a Kinesis stream using the Kinesis Producer Library and Kinesis Client Library and can create Kinesis applications to process the data.

3. Elastic: Amazon Kinesis stream throughput can easily scale from megabytes to terabytes in seconds.
Parallel Processing: This mostly helps when multiple Kinesis applications are processing the same stream concurrently. You can easily have one application to do real-time analytics and another to send data to Amazon s3.

4. Low cost: Kinesis Streams has no upfront costs, and payment will only be made for the resources used.
Reliability: Kinesis Streams that replicate with multiple facilities in an AWS region. Data can be retained for 24 hours to prevent data loss in case of a machine or another application failure.

5. Fully Managed: It is fully managed and can be easily run by streaming all applications without the need for infrastructure.

6. Scalability: This is very easy to handle any amount of streaming data with thousands and hundreds of sources with low latency.
  • It can automatically create all streamed data with perfect copies available in all zones, along with durability and backup options
  • You can easily integrate all the data into the relevant AWS service without using the right connectors, reducing data latency.
