=Concepts=
==Stream==
Streams are made out of [[#Shard|shards]].
==Shard==
==Record==
Units of data stored in a stream. Records are made up of a [[#Sequence_Number|sequence number]], [[#Partition_Key|partition key]] and [[#Data_Blob|data blob]]. After the data blob is stored in a record, Kinesis does not inspect, interpret or change it in any way.
==Data Blob==
The data blob is the payload of data contained within a [[#Record|record]].
==Partition Key==
The partition key is used to identify different shards in a stream, and allow a data producer to distribute data across shards.
==Sequence Number==
Unique identifiers for records inserted into a shard. They increase monotonically, and are specific to individual shards.
