Monitor Amazon Kinesis performance

Amazon Kinesis is a managed service for handling large data streams such as clickstreams and social media feeds. It enables real-time processing and distribution of data to multiple consumers simultaneously. Datadog has recently added performance monitoring for Amazon Kinesis, allowing users to track key metrics like incoming and outgoing requests, latency, iterator age, and the evolution of shards per stream. Custom tags can also be applied to Kinesis streams for better metric organization. Alerts can be set up within Datadog to notify users of any abnormalities in these metrics.
