‫Welcome to this section on Kinesis.
‫So Kinesis at the Certified Developer exam
‫is something you need to know in depth,
‫so I'm going to spend a lot of time
‫describing how each service works
‫to really give you that in-depth expertise
‫to allow you to score the maximum amount of points
‫at the exam.
‫So let's start with an overview of Kinesis.
‫Kinesis makes it easy to collect, process,
‫and analyze streaming data in real time.
‫So the real-time data could be anything,
‫such as application logs, metrics,
‫website clickstreams, IoT telemetry data.
‫As long as the data is generated fast and in real time,
‫this counts as a real time stream of data.
‫So there are four services that comprise Kinesis.
‫There's Kinesis Data Streams
‫that we'll explore really in depth
‫to capture, process, and store data streams.
‫There is Kinesis Data Firehose to load data streams
‫into some data stores in AWS, but also outside of AWS.
‫There is Kinesis Data Analytics to analyze data streams
‫with the SQL language or Apache Flink.
‫And finally, a service that doesn't appear at the exam
‫but still good to mention is Kinesis Video Streams
‫to capture, process, and store video streams.
‫So this was just a very high-level overview.
‫In the next lectures,
‫we'll be exploring one of these services one by one
‫and making sure
‫we get the right amount of knowledge on them.
‫So I will see you in the next lecture.
