I'm executing a Flink Job with this tools. I think both can do exactly the same with the proper configuration. Does Kinesis Data Analytics do something that EMR can not do or vice versa?
Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics is the easiest way to analyze streaming data, gain actionable insights, and respond to your business and customer needs in real time.
Amazon Elastic Map Reduce provides a managed Hadoop framework that makes it easy, fast, and cost-effective to process vast amounts of data across dynamically scalable Amazon EC2 instances. You can also run other popular distributed frameworks such as Apache Spark, HBase, Presto, and Flink in EMR.
Amazon EMR (previously called Amazon Elastic MapReduce) is a managed cluster platform that simplifies running big data frameworks, such as Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark , on AWS to process and analyze vast amounts of data.
How is Amazon's Elastic Map Reduce (EMR) different from a traditional database? O Queries are run in real time O Big data is stored in large object tables O Queries are dynamic O It applies the schema at the time of the query See what the community says and unlock a badge.
Data Streams is a low latency streaming service in AWS Kinesis with the facility for ingesting at scale. On the other hand, Kinesis Firehose aims to serve as a data transfer service. The primary purpose of Kinesis Firehose focuses on loading streaming data to Amazon S3, Splunk, ElasticSearch, and RedShift.
Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics enables you to quickly author SQL code that continuously reads, processes, and stores data in near real time. Using standard SQL queries on the streaming data, you can construct applications that transform and provide insights into your data.
The major difference is maintainability and management from your side.
If you want more independent management and more control then I would say go for AWS EMR. Where its your responsibility to manage the EMR infrastructure as well as the Apache Flink cluster in it.
But if you want less control and more focus on application development and you need to deliver faster(tight deadline) then KDA is the way to go. Here AWS provides all the bells and whistles you need for running your application. This also easily sets up with AWS s3 as code source and provides a bare minimum Configuration Management using the UI.
It scales automatically as well.(Need to understand KCU though).
It provides the same Flink dashboard where you can monitor your application and AWS Cloudwatch integration for debugging your application.
Please go through this nice presentation and let me know it that helps.
