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).

Creating a stream producer application

A producer is an application that adds data records into the data stream. There are several options to ingest data, including REST APIs, SDKs, agents, and tools that help you create a stream producer for your application.

Amazon Kinesis application technology options include the following:

  • The Amazon Kinesis API and AWS Python SDK
  • The Amazon KPL
  • The Kinesis Data Generator (KDG) for test data
  • Third-party connectors/agents
  • Kinesis Agent
  • AWS Mobile SDKs

Let's start by looking at how we can write data into the stream using the Amazon KDS REST APIs. We will walk through an API request and its response. This section will also demonstrate how we can use Kinesis Agent and the AWS Python SDK to write custom producer applications. As shown in the following diagram, the REST API, Kinesis Agent, and the Python SDK are a few of the many options for data ingestion:
