AWS Lambda and Kinesis Client Library (KCL)












0














How come I find so little examples of the KCL being used with AWS Lambda.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/streams/latest/dev/developing-consumers-with-kcl.html



It does provide a fine implementation for keeping track of your position on the stream (checkpointing).



I want to use the KCL as a consumer. My set-up is a stream with multiple shards. On each shard a Lambda is consuming. I want to use the KCL in the Lambda's to track the position of the iterator on the shard.



Why can't I find anyone who use the KCL with Lambda.
What is the issue here?

  • Are you looking at using Lambda as the consumer or the producer? If you're looking at using it as a consumer, Kinesis can be configured as a lambda event source.

  • @JamieStarke , as a consumer. I updated the question.

  • @JamieStarke, yes it can be configured as lambda event source. On the other hand I do not find examples of people using the KCL and Lambda. I only read about the fact that they are not really used together. But I never read why.
