Amazon Kinesis vs. Elecard StreamEye Studio

Perfect for real-time data processing and streaming. Also, there's no need for any specific setup - you just start using it immediately and it easily integrates with the rest of AWS capabilities (like Redshift), although integration with Lambda could be better. You can make your overall analytics landscape way simpler with Kineses even if you have non-Amazon solutions like Tableau. It all integrates really well!

The documentation was confusing and lacked examples. The streams suddenly stopped working with no explanation and there was no information in the logs. All these were more difficult when dealing with enhanced fan-out. In fact, we were about to abort the usage of Kinesis due to a misunderstanding with enhanced fan-out.

Kinesis is oriented to streaming in a scalable way large volumes of information in real-time. Glue is more an ETL so it is not well suited for real-time applications while Beanstalk is more a simple container platform. Lambda could do the job but it would require a lot of programming to accomplish the same as Kinesis. In fact, our solution employed the four elements for different tasks but using Kinesis as the message bus.

• Caused us to need to re-engineer some basic re-try logic
• Caused us to drop some content without knowing it
• Made monitoring much more difficult
• We eventually switched back to SQS because Kinesis is not the same as a Queue system
