For now we are setting alarms when there is an increase in the incoming data and then we scale it manually. We are thinking of automating this process with cloudwatch+ sns+ lambda > > We use it as part of a streaming pipeline. It helps with back-pressure when there is a sudden burst in the events and it also allows us to consume data in parallel. ----- ### "High Availability and Durability" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *29 March 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: When it comes to availability, durability, and scalability, it is one of the best performant products for data streaming I have already used. It can also integrate with a lot of AWS services. > > **Cons**: Other than the expertise in streaming data it needs, it also can incur high costs depending on the data stored and processed. ----- ### "Analytics on streaming data" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *18 February 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Used it as a basis for distributing information for IOT, multiple databases including SQL and NoSql, websites, that was used as a message queuing flow all put together. Can monitor all the IOT sensors information with its reporting and processing information. The data streaming events are fast and you can perform create, del, update and read (CRUD) operations on them, with good data retention. For the case of ML you can use it to find data anomalies. > > **Cons**: Not much of a community base for doubt clearing, troubleshooting issues and solving problems. When went through the documentation, found it difficult to understand and confusing. > > A well built advanced analytics tool with good scalability, maintainance and integration capabilities to make data more meaningful. ----- ### "Amazon Kinesis" — 5.0/5 > **Anmol** | *25 February 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: stream the data without any error or miss any dataeasy to setup the stream from the server > > **Cons**: there is a delay of a stream of logs when integrate with another tool it is taken at least 5 min to sync each slot. ----- ### "Very powerful to stream data" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *23 November 2022* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Amazon Kinesis is very powerful . You can gather data quickly in a very effective way > > **Cons**: Like lot of AWS service, it can be a bit tricky to setup and documentation can be a bit complex ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2057431/amazon-kinesis?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2057431/amazon-kinesis) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
