The solution has the capacity to store the data anywhere from one day to a week and provides limitless storage for us. The data is time-stamped, and the data is in sequence, so we don't need to maintain the sequence or order of the data, and multiple consumers can reference the data in the Kinesis Data Streams simultaneously. Using the same data one application can perform Task A, and another application can perform Task B. The Kinesis Data Stream is integrated with Amazon CloudWatch where we can monitor all the requests of who wants to read information, what kind of APIs are being requested, what errors there are, who is producing them, and who are the data consumers. All the information is logged in one spot and this allows us to identify the problematic points easily. The solution allows us to apply the security so the consumers can have access, based on the subscription they have. Amazon Kinesis has a fan-out feature that allows us to increase the throughput when the number of consumers increases, instead of having to pull the data from the consumer side the information is posted by the solution itself.
