Developing Stream Consumers

Playground Example - Consumer with a TRIM_HORIZON Shard Iterator

Playground Example - Consumer with a LATEST Shard Iterator

Kinesis consumers developed with AWS SDK for Java use a pull model, where the client polls the stream. Kinesis Client Library (KCL) on the other hand, uses a push model, which is more efficient. In addition, KCL provides failover, recovery and load balancing functionality.
