Scalable Data Streaming with Amazon Kinesis: Design and secure highly available, cost-effective data streaming applications

19 minutes

A book about building scalable data streaming solutions using various Amazon Web Services (AWS) tools, primarily focusing on the Amazon Kinesis family of services (Data Streams, Firehose, Data Analytics, and Video Streams). The content explains the core concepts of data streaming and distributed systems, detailing how to produce and consume data using Kinesis Data Streams (KDS), including capacity, monitoring, and security. Significant portions discuss Kinesis Data Firehose (KDF) for data delivery to destinations like Amazon S3 and Redshift, and Kinesis Data Analytics (KDA) for processing streaming data using both SQL and Apache Flink engines. Finally, the text explores integrations with other AWS services like Amazon SQS, SNS, EventBridge, and third-party solutions such as Splunk, often utilizing a hypothetical "SmartCity bike-share" use case as an example.
