Amazon Kinesis
Real-time, low-latency data streaming (Data Streams) with shard-based scaling and replayable records for multiple independent consumers. Most-used open-source equivalent is Apache Kafka — the direct architectural analogue (partitions ≈ shards, consumer groups, configurable retention/replay); Redpanda is a newer Kafka-API-compatible alternative built for lower ops overhead. Amazon MSK is AWS's own managed-Kafka answer sitting between the two. Compare Amazon_Data_Firehose for the simpler, delivery-only sibling service.
