What differentiates Amazon Kinesis from other similar products?

Amazon Kinesis is not just streams, its Kinesis Analytics and Firehose too. But if we are just talking about Kinesis streams its a great way to work with Streaming data, you don't need to host it yourself plus AWS gives you amazing developer tools to develop applications that make use of it and the documentation is also amazing. On top of that Kinesis streams has amazing ability to scale.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The great documentation and developer tooling is amazing. I also just found it fun to work with.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I can't really think of anything, perhaps the pricing, but its still amazing what you get in terms of what you pay for.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you are already an AWS user and thinking of using it, then go for it.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing

Cost effective fully managed streaming service

Likeliness to Recommend

7 / 10

What differentiates Amazon Kinesis from other similar products?

It's significantly cheaper. For $100 the same number of events are processed in kinesis as would be in GCP PubSub for $300

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It solves the problem of scalable streaming data ingestion without too much complication, and integrates well into an existing AWS ecosystem

What do you dislike most about this product?

Some more specific issues with parallelization and sharding within AWS that can result in data loss, but AFAIK they are being worked on

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Makes sure it suits your use cases - sometimes you can get away with using Kafka or microbatching to achieve the same result

Pros

  • Performance Enhancing
  • Unique Features
  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product

Cons

  • Less Efficient Service
  • Vendor's Interest First
  • Less Friendly Negotiation
