Use Amazon Kinesis Data Streams to collect and process large streams of data records in real time.

You'll create data-processing applications, known as Amazon Kinesis Data Streams applications. A typical Amazon Kinesis Data Streams application reads data from a Kinesis data stream as data records. These applications can use the Kinesis Client Library, and they can run on Amazon EC2 instances. The processed records can be sent to dashboards, used to generate alerts, dynamically change pricing and advertising strategies, or send data to a variety of other AWS services.
