FAQ
Questions AWS Kinesis owners ask.
- 01
How do I calculate the number of shards needed for my data?
You can use the calculate_shard_requirements capability. Provide your ingestion rate in KB/s, records per second, and your consumer profile to get the total shard count.
- 02
Can I estimate my AWS storage costs with this capability?
While it doesn't provide direct dollar amounts, the calculate_storage_and_efo capability provides the total storage in GB, which you can use to estimate your AWS costs.
- 03
How do I scale my Kinesis stream up or down?
Use the calculate_scaling_operations capability. Input your current shard count and your target shard count to see how many splits or merges are required.
