Cost effective fully managed streaming service
Likeliness to Recommend
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
