- hatred 11y agoKinesis is basically Kafka as a service. IIUC, Kinesis Firehose is just a way to ingest data into S3 buckets/Redshift and Firehose would give you the goodies like monitoring/fault tolerance etc.
- rgarcia 11y agoThe closest thing I could compare it to would be services that make it easier to get data into Redshift or S3. E.g. segment.io's redshift product: https://segment.com/redshift https://segment.com/redshift.
- phillipamann 11y agoThis looks like an AWS version of Apache Flume and Kinesis looks like an AWS version of Apache Storm. Does AWS have a Kafka equivalent i.e. a pub/sub message queue?
- mirceal 11y agoKinesis != Apache Storm The easiest way to think about Kinesis is a managed queue that can remember the history for the past 24 hours.
- phillipamann 11y agoAh OK. I saw that it kept state so I thought it was like Storm. I don't fully understand Storm. However, Kafka can not keep state (and neither can Flume). So Kinesis is a queue that has some state?
- cbsmith 11y agoKinesis is a LOT more like Kafka than Storm.
