Amazon strives to be Earth's most customer-centric company where people can find and discover virtually anything they want to buy online. By giving customers more of what they want - low prices, vast selection, and convenience - Amazon continues to grow and evolve as a world-class e-commerce platform.

Founded by Jeff Bezos, the Amazon.com website started in 1995 as a place to buy books because of the unique customer experience the Web could offer book lovers. Bezos believed that only the Internet could offer customers the convenience of browsing a selection of millions of book titles in a single sitting. During the first 30 days of business, Amazon fulfilled orders for customers in 50 states and 45 countries - all shipped from his Seattle-area garage.

Amazon's evolution from Web site to e-commerce partner to development platform is driven by the spirit of innovation that is part of the company's DNA. The world's brightest technology minds come to Amazon.com to research and develop technology that improves the lives of shoppers and sellers around the world.

Streaming Analytics is performing analytic computations on streaming data. Data streams can come from devices, sensors, websites, social media, applications, infrastructure systems, and more.

Product Usage

We used Kinesis as the basis for information distribution for a mission-critical business operation.

Pros and Cons

Integrating with other Amazon services
Scaling requests
Totally serverless platform
Simple management

Things done well

Extended fan-out is complicated to manage.
Documentation is confusing.
VPC integration

Things done poorly

Amazon Kinesis is a great replacement for Kafka and it works better whenever the components of the solution are AWS based. Best if extended fan-out is not required, but still price-performance ratio is very good for simplifying maintenance.
I would go with a different option if the systems to be connected are legacy, for instance in the case of traditional messaging clients.

Feature Ratings

Lower the cost of implementation.
Good scaling up
Simple integration, especially with Lambda

Return on Investment

Kinesis is oriented to streaming in a scalable way large volumes of information in real-time. Glue is more an ETL so it is not well suited for real-time applications while Beanstalk is more a simple container platform. Lambda could do the job but it would require a lot of programming to accomplish the same as Kinesis. In fact, our solution employed the four elements for different tasks but using Kinesis as the message bus.

AWS Lambda, AWS Elastic Beanstalk and AWS Glue

Alternatives

The documentation was confusing and lacked examples. The streams suddenly stopped working with no explanation and there was no information in the logs. All these were more difficult when dealing with enhanced fan-out. In fact, we were about to abort the usage of Kinesis due to a misunderstanding with enhanced fan-out.
