SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Real-time data streaming often requires manual CLI interactions to create streams, manage shards, publish and retrieve records, and monitor performance. This skill streamlines Kinesis management via AWS CLI into a repeatable workflow, reducing setup time and operational friction.

Core Features & Use Cases

Create, describe, list, and delete streams.
Configure shards and scaling operations.
Put and get records, manage producers/consumers, and monitor stream health with metrics.
Use cases include real-time analytics pipelines, log ingestion, and event-driven processing across multiple streams.

Quick Start

Create a new Kinesis stream named my-stream with 2 shards and begin publishing sample records.
