Hands-on – ingesting streaming data

Earlier in this chapter, we looked at two options for ingesting streaming data into AWS, namely Amazon Kinesis and Amazon MSK. AWS provides an open-source solution for streaming sample data to Amazon Kinesis; therefore, in this section, we will use the Amazon Kinesis service to ingest streaming data. To generate streaming data, we will use the AWS open-source Amazon Kinesis Data Generator (KDG).

In this section, we will perform the following tasks:

Configure Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose to ingest streaming data, and write the data out to Amazon S3.
Configure Amazon KDG to create mock streaming data.

To get started, let’s configure a new Kinesis Data Firehose instance to ingest streaming data and write it out to our Amazon S3 data lake.
