Read data from Amazon Kinesis Data Streams
A consumer is an application that processes all data from a Kinesis data stream. When a consumer uses enhanced fan-out, it gets its own 2 MB/sec allotment of read throughput, allowing multiple consumers to read data from the same stream in parallel, without contending for read throughput with other consumers. To use the enhanced fan-out capability of shards, see Develop enhanced fan-out consumers with dedicated throughput.
You can build consumers for Kinesis Data Streams using Kinesis Client Library (KCL) or Amazon SDK for Java. You can also develop consumers using other Amazon services such as Amazon Lambda, Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink, and Amazon Data Firehose. Kinesis Data Streams supports integrations with other Amazon services such as Amazon EMR, Amazon EventBridge, Amazon Glue, and Amazon Redshift It also supports third party integrations including Apache Flink, Adobe Experience Platform, Apache Druid, Apache Spark, Databricks, Confluent Platform, Kinesumer, and Talend.
