Study Notes
Role of the Kinesis Producer Library (KPL)
- The KPL is a user-friendly library designed for writing to Kinesis data streams.
- Acts as a bridge between producer applications and Kinesis Data Streams API.
- Automatically retries sending records, ensuring data is reliably written.
- Utilizes the PutRecords operation to send multiple records to various shards in a single request.
- Optimizes payload size by aggregating user records, enhancing overall throughput.
- Works in conjunction with the Kinesis Client Library (KCL) to de-aggregate batched records for consumer applications.
- Automatically submits Amazon CloudWatch metrics, aiding in monitoring producer performance.
Distinction from Kinesis Data Streams API
- The KPL focuses specifically on data ingestion, abstracting complexities associated with the Kinesis Data Streams API.
- The Kinesis Data Streams API enables management of streams, such as creation and resharding, alongside data operations.
