Comment on Amazon Kinesis

Comments

The Kinesis consumer API is somewhat equivalent to the Simple Consumer API in Kafka. You'll have to manage the consumed sequence number yourself. There's no higher level consumer API to keep track of the consumed sequence numbers.

Looks like AWS decide to put this capability in their Kinesis Client Library, which keeps track of the checkpoints in DynamoDB.
