Streaming data and serverless technologies, such as Amazon Kinesis and AWS Lambda, are the driving forces behind the seamless functioning of various systems that we use daily, often without even realizing it. These technologies enable crucial functionalities like fraud detection for secure transactions and efficient traffic signal management. In this comprehensive course, you will gain valuable insights into harnessing the potential of these powerful technologies through a practical scenario involving a fictional data engineer named Cody. Your objective will be to assist Cody in effectively collecting real-time streaming data from city-owned vehicles, analyzing the data, and issuing relevant alerts, such as speed warnings, to drivers. By utilizing Amazon Kinesis and Firehose, you will learn the process of efficiently ingesting data from millions of sources. Additionally, you will explore the capabilities of Kinesis Analytics in analyzing data as it flows through the stream. Furthermore, you will gain proficiency in creating serverless functions using AWS Lambda, which will trigger actions based on the received data. Upon completion of this training, you will possess the skills to develop live ElasticSearch dashboards using AWS QuickSight and CloudWatch. Ultimately, your newfound expertise will contribute to the successful realization of Cody's ambitious project.
