AWS Kinesis

No application template

Amazon Kinesis has no application template. It is connected as an AWS Kinesis integration on Platform → Integrations, and the data source is then added by hand. See the Integration Matrix for which products use which path.

AWS Kinesis is a fully managed service that can cost-effectively process and analyze streaming data at any scale. Fluency can consume Kinesis streams directly as a data source.

Fluency offers several CloudFormation scripts to facilitate integration. While these scripts are free to use, keep in mind that AWS CloudFormation is a paid service, and you will incur a charge from AWS for using it.

AWS CloudFormation allows you to configure AWS resources from script/code. This makes deployment easy, consistent, and greately decreases the possiblity of errors or misconfigurations.

For supported AWS integrations, deploying via CloudFormation is always recommended, if the script is avaliable.
