Overview
The Streaming Data Solution for Amazon Kinesis comes with four deployment options and their accompanying AWS CloudFormation templates that are configured to apply best practices for streaming data, including data monitoring through dashboards and alarms, as well as data security.
Streaming data must be durably captured by massively scalable storage that is capable of handling high data volume from data producers. A producer can be thousands of data sources, each generating streaming data continuously and which typically submits records simultaneously and in small sizes (kilobytes). This AWS Solution helps you manage, secure, and store a wide variety of streaming data, such as log files generated by your customers using mobile or web applications. It also supports streaming data from ecommerce purchases, in-game player activity, information from social networks, financial trading floors, or geospatial services and telemetry from connected devices or instrumentation in data centers.

Step 1
An Amazon API Gateway REST API acts as a proxy to Amazon Kinesis Data Streams, adding either an individual data record or a list of data records.Step 2
An Amazon Cognito user pool is used to control who can invoke REST API methods.Step 3
Kinesis Data Streams to store the incoming streaming data.Step 4
An AWS Lambda function processes the records from the data stream.Step 5
Errors and failed records that occur during Lambda processing are annotated, and the events are stored in Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS).
The queue stores metadata for failed batch records and Lambda errors, allowing customers to retrieve these records and determine the next steps to resolve them.

Step 1
Data Streams stores the incoming streaming data.Step 2
Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose buffers the data before delivering the output to an S3 bucket. It is a fully managed service that automatically scales to match the throughput of your data and requires no ongoing administration.Step 3
A CloudWatch dashboard monitors the data ingestion and buffering. CloudWatch alarms are set on essential metrics for Kinesis Data Firehose.Step 1
