Use PutRecords with an Amazon SDK or CLI

To write multiple records into a data stream

The following put-records example writes a data record using the specified partition key and another data record using a different partition key in a single call.

aws kinesis put-records \
    --stream-name samplestream \
    --records Data=blob1,PartitionKey=partitionkey1 Data=blob2,PartitionKey=partitionkey2

Output:

{
    "FailedRecordCount": 0,
    "Records": [
        {
            "SequenceNumber": "49600883331171471519674795588238531498465399900093808706",
            "ShardId": "shardId-000000000004"
        },
        {
            "SequenceNumber": "49600902273357540915989931256902715169698037101720764562",
            "ShardId": "shardId-000000000009"
        }
    ],
    "EncryptionType": "KMS"
}
