Amazon Kinesis Icon

Amazon Kinesis is a managed service that allows you to collect, process, and analyze real-time streaming data. Think of it as a powerful conveyor belt for data; it continuously ingests large volumes of data from various sources and makes it available for immediate processing or later analysis using other AWS services like Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics or other custom applications. This is useful for applications needing to react to information as it happens, such as tracking website clicks, monitoring IoT sensors, or processing financial transactions.
