Develop consumers with the Amazon SDK for Java

You can develop custom consumers using the Amazon Kinesis Data Streams APIs. This section describes using the Kinesis Data Streams APIs with the Amazon SDK for Java.

Important

The recommended method for developing custom Kinesis Data Streams consumers with shared throughout is to use the Kinesis Client Library (KCL). KCL helps you consume and process data from a Kinesis data stream by taking care of many of the complex tasks associated with distributed computing.
