Amazon Kinesis
Amazon Kinesis is an AWS analytics service designed to analyze real-time video and data streams. It allows developers to process continuous data flows for immediate insights rather than batch processing. This tool is essential for applications requiring low-latency data ingestion and analysis, enabling teams to handle high-volume inputs efficiently without managing underlying infrastructure complexity.
Choose Kinesis when you need to ingest and process streaming data in real time. Be aware that there is no free tier available for this service.
