Amazon Kinesis Data Streams On-Demand Mode now automatically scales to support streaming applications that write up to 10GB/s per stream and consumers that read up to 20 GB/s per stream. This is a 5x increase from the previously supported limits of 2 GB/s per stream for writers and 4 GB/s for readers.
Amazon Kinesis Data Streams is a serverless data streaming service that allows customers to build de-coupled applications that publish and consume real-time data streams. It includes integrations with 40+ AWS and third-party services, enabling customers to easily build real-time stream processing, analytics, and machine learning applications. Customers use Kinesis Data Streams On-demand Mode for workloads with unpredictable and variable traffic patterns, so they do not have to manage capacity. They can pay based on the amount of data streamed. Customers can now use On-demand Mode for high-throughput data streams.
There is no action required on your part to use this feature in US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon) and Europe (Ireland) AWS Regions. When you write data to your Kinesis On-demand stream, it will automatically scale to write up to 10 GB/s. For other AWS Regions, you can reach out to AWS support to raise the peak write throughput capacity of your OD Streams to 10 GB/s. To learn more, see the Kinesis Data Streams Quotas and Limits documentation.
