So Amazon came up with a solution known as Amazon Kinesis which is fully managed and automated and can handle the real-time large streams of data with ease. It allows users to collect, store, capture, and process many logs from distributed streams such as social media feeds. It makes users focus on the development by taking any amount of data from any source to process it. After processing all the data, Kinesis also distributes all the data to the consumers simultaneously.
