Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Develop custom consumers with shared throughput

Note

Kinesis Client Library (KCL) versions 1.x and 2.x are outdated. We recommend migrating to KCL version 3.x, which offers improved performance and new features. For the latest KCL documentation and migration guide, see Use Kinesis Client Library.

If you don't need dedicated throughput when receiving data from Kinesis Data Streams, and if you don't need read propagation delays under 200 ms, you can build consumer applications as described in the following topics. You can use the Kinesis Client Library (KCL) or the Amazon SDK for Java.
