Summary

In this chapter, we focused on the concept of real-time data streams. We learned about the key concepts and use cases for Amazon Kinesis Data Streams, Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose, and Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics. We also looked at examples of how these real-time data streams integrate with each other and help us build real-world use cases.
