**Amazon Kinesis** is a family of services for streaming data. **Data Streams** stores ordered records in shards that many consumers can read. **Data Firehose** delivers a stream to [S3](https://www.itwonderlab.com/aws-s3/), Redshift, OpenSearch or HTTP endpoints with batching, transformation and compression, without code. **Managed Service for Apache Flink** processes streams with SQL or Java.

With Terraform: `aws_kinesis_stream` and `aws_kinesis_firehose_delivery_stream`. For simple queues consider [SQS](https://www.itwonderlab.com/aws-sqs/).
