his lesson is addressed to engineers, developers and architects who would like to build a near realtime analytics and event processing system for large amounts of data collected from multiple sources : IoT, logs from servers, routers, distributed processing systems ..etc

You are going to see basic and important concepts about Kinesis and write a simple app in Python for a better understanding.

Kinesis offer good performances for data processing and it is also easy to integrate with other Amazon services.

Loading streamed data to AWS is done using Amazon Kinesis Firehose.
