Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose and Amazon Kinesis Data Streams
Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose is the easiest way to reliably load streaming data into data stores and analytics tools. It can capture, transform, and load streaming data into Amazon S3, Amazon Redshift, Amazon OpenSearch Service, and Splunk, enabling near real-time analytics with existing business intelligence tools and dashboards you’re already using today. It is a fully managed service that automatically scales to match the throughput of your data and requires no ongoing administration. It can also batch, compress, transform, and encrypt the data before loading it, minimizing the amount of storage used at the destination and increasing security.
You can easily create a Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream from the AWS Management Console, configure it with a few clicks, and start sending data to the stream from hundreds of thousands of data sources to be loaded continuously to AWS—all in just a few minutes. You can also configure your delivery
stream to automatically convert the incoming data to columnar formats such as Apache Parquet and Apache ORC, before the data is delivered to Amazon S3, for cost-effective storage and analytics. Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics is the easiest way to analyze streaming data, gain actionable insights, and respond to your business and customer needs in real time. Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics reduces the complexity of building, managing, and integrating streaming applications with other AWS services.
SQL users can easily query streaming data or build entire streaming applications using templates and an interactive SQL editor. Java developers can quickly build sophisticated streaming applications using open source Java libraries and AWS integrations to transform and analyze data in real-time. Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics takes care of everything required to run your queries continuously and scales automatically to match the volume and throughput rate of your incoming data.
Amazon Kinesis Data Streams
Amazon Kinesis Data Streams is a massively scalable and durable real-time data streaming service. Kinesis Data Streamss can continuously capture gigabytes of data per second from hundreds of thousands of sources such as website clickstreams, database event streams, financial transactions, social media feeds, IT logs, and location-tracking events. The data collected is available in milliseconds to enable real-time analytics use cases such as real-time dashboards, real-time anomaly detection, dynamic pricing, and more.
Amazon Kinesis Video Streams
Amazon Kinesis Video Streams makes it easy to securely stream video from connected devices to AWS for analytics, ML, playback, and other processing. Kinesis Video Streams automatically provisions and elastically scales all the infrastructure needed to ingest streaming video data from millions of devices. It
also durably stores, encrypts, and indexes video data in your streams, and allows you to access your data through easy-to-use APIs. Kinesis Video Streams enables you to playback video for live and on-demand viewing, and quickly build applications that take advantage of computer vision and video analytics through integration with Amazon Rekognition Video, and libraries for ML frameworks such as Apache MxNet, TensorFlow, and OpenCV.
Amazon OpenSearch Service
Amazon OpenSearch Service (OpenSearch Service) makes it easy to deploy, secure, operate, and scale OpenSearch to search, analyze, and visualize data in real-time. With Amazon OpenSearch Service, you get easy-to-use APIs and real-time analytics capabilities to power use-cases such as log analytics, full-text search, application monitoring, and clickstream analytics, with enterprise-grade availability, scalability, and security. The service offers integrations with open-source tools such as OpenSearch Dashboards and Logstash for data ingestion and visualization. It also integrates seamlessly with other AWS services such as Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC), AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS), Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose, AWS Lambda, AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), Amazon Cognito, and Amazon CloudWatch, so that you can go from raw data to actionable insights quickly.
