Posted on: Apr 24, 2019

Amazon Kinesis Data Streams is a massively scalable and durable real-time data streaming service.

Amazon Kinesis Data Streams has changed the license of the Amazon Kinesis Client Library from the Amazon Software License to Apache License 2.0. This change allows you to easily build and integrate the Amazon Kinesis Client Library with other Apache software projects such as Apache Flink and Apache Spark.

The Amazon Kinesis Client Library helps you consume and process data from a Kinesis data stream. You can learn more about the Amazon Kinesis Client Library in the Developing Amazon Kinesis Data Streams Consumers section of the Developer Guide.
