I haven't used Kafka yet, but a Kafka partition is roughly the same as a Kinesis shard, right?

- ryanworl 9y agoYes, but you have to set them up upfront and there is no API to split and merge partitions. If you add more partitions, it doesn't automatically re-shard for you either. I don't think it should automatically re-shard as it would cause a ton of disk and network IO, but just something to be aware of.
