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).

IoT Core

AWS IoT Core is a family of managed services that allows IoT-connected devices to interact with each other as well as with other cloud applications and services. You can use a variety of protocols with AWS IoT Core. MQTT is the primary protocol used as it is optimized for publish/subscribe messaging between various remote devices with scarce resources and when network bandwidth is nominal.

This book will not cover IoT in depth; however, the purpose and key functionality apply to streaming data solutions with IoT use cases.

Device software

FreeRTOS is an open source operating system for microcontrollers. FreeRTOS is similar to the Raspberry Pi Raspian operating system. FreeRTOS is intended for embedded software (software that controls devices and hardware) development for microcontrollers. FreeRTOS provides you with building blocks to create software for microcontrollers and implement multitasking. Whereas Raspian is an operating system intended for end users just...
