Use PutRecord with an Amazon SDK or CLI

To write a record into a data stream

The following put-record example writes a single data record into the specified data stream using the specified partition key.

aws kinesis put-record \
    --stream-name samplestream \
    --data sampledatarecord \
    --partition-key samplepartitionkey

Output:

{
    "ShardId": "shardId-000000000009",
    "SequenceNumber": "49600902273357540915989931256901506243878407835297513618",
    "EncryptionType": "KMS"
}

Example 1: Writes a record containing the string supplied to the -Text parameter.

Write-KINRecord -Text "test data from string" -StreamName "mystream" -PartitionKey "Key1"

Example 2: Writes a record containing the data contained in the specified file. The file is treated as a sequence of bytes so if it contains text, it should be written with any necessary encoding before using it with this cmdlet.

Write-KINRecord -FilePath "C:\TestData.txt" -StreamName "mystream" -PartitionKey "Key2"
