There are 3 types of data collection with its following services that will be discussed in details later on:

1.Real-time

Services include (if you don’t understand these services, please refer to part 1):

  • Kinesis Data Streams (KDS)
  • Simple queue service (SQS)
  • Internet of Things (IoT)

2.Near real-time

Services include (if you don’t understand these services, please refer to part 1):

  • Kinesis Data Firehose (KDF)
  • Database Migration Service (DMS)

3.Batch

Services include (if you don’t understand these services, please refer to part 1):

  • Snowball
  • Data Pipeline
