A demo application interacting with the AWS Kinesis API

Kinesis API demo

What is this?

A toy application to learn about the Kinesis API and provide functional examples for when I inevitably forget how any of this works.

This application:

• writes a simple payload to a Kinesis stream
• manages a dynamic pool of shard reader goroutines, keeping track of what shards have been previously seen.

Usage

export KDEMO_REGION="us-west-2"
export KDEMO_STREAM_NAME="kinesistest"
./kinesisdemo

Uses dep for dependency management.
