Amazon Kinesis


Last week, I wrote about Google's Clould Data Flow design.  It seems Amazon's Kinesis is the competitor  for Google's Cloud Dataflow.  Kinesis as a to a managed service designed for real-time data streaming developed by industry leaders Amazon Web Services.

Kinesis allows you to write applications for processing data in real-time, and works in conjunction with other AWS products such as Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Amazon DynamoDB, or Amazon Redshift.

Amazon Kinesis is a fully managed service for real-time processing of streaming data at massive scale. It can collect and process hundreds of terabytes of data per hour from hundreds of thousands of sources, allowing you to easily write applications that process information in real-time, from sources such as web site click-streams, marketing and financial information, manufacturing instrumentation and social media, and operational logs and metering data.

Three key observed Use Cases are:
1. Application and Operational Logs
2. Real-Time Clickstream Analytics
3. Machine learning-based recommendation and ranking

Attached diagram represents second use case.
