Scalable Data Streaming with Amazon Kinesis

By: Tarik Makota, Brian Maguire, Danny Gagne, Rajeev Chakrabarti

Overview of this book

Amazon Kinesis is a collection of secure, serverless, durable, and highly available purpose-built data streaming services. This data streaming service provides APIs and client SDKs that enable you to produce and consume data at scale. Scalable Data Streaming with Amazon Kinesis begins with a quick overview of the core concepts of data streams, along with the essentials of the AWS Kinesis landscape. You'll then explore the requirements of the use case shown through the book to help you get started and cover the key pain points encountered in the data stream life cycle. As you advance, you'll get to grips with the architectural components of Kinesis, understand how they are configured to build data pipelines, and delve into the applications that connect to them for consumption and processing. You'll also build a Kinesis data pipeline from scratch and learn how to implement and apply practical solutions. Moving on, you'll learn how to configure Kinesis on a cloud platform. Finally, you’ll learn how other AWS services can be integrated into Kinesis. These services include Redshift, Dynamo Database, AWS S3, Elastic Search, and third-party applications such as Splunk. By the end of this AWS book, you’ll be able to build and deploy your own Kinesis data pipelines with Kinesis Data Streams (KDS), Kinesis Data Firehose (KFH), Kinesis Video Streams (KVS), and Kinesis Data Analytics (KDA).

Amazon services that can produce data to send to Kinesis

In this section, we will cover services that produce data and then utilize Kinesis to deliver that data to its intended location(s). We will learn how to use Kinesis with those services to get faster insight from data. As is the case with any new technology, integration may present some challenges. It's impossible to cover all the possible integration scenarios, so we will focus on some examples where Kinesis integrates with Amazon Connect, DynamoDB, Aurora, and Spark Streaming.

Amazon Connect

One of Amazon's leadership principles is customer obsession (https://www.amazon.jobs/en/principles). Any company that wants to have satisfied long-term customers, in addition to having great products, requires excellent customer service. Most businesses need some sort of customer contact center, where a customer can call and talk to a customer service agent, to address customer questions or problems.
