AWS Kinesis

The Amazon Kinesis destination enables you to send your event data to Amazon Kinesis in real-time. This allows you to process and analyze high-volume event streams with low latency.

Configuration

To set up the Amazon Kinesis destination:

1. Navigate to the Destinations section in your account
2. Click "Add Destination" and select "Amazon Kinesis"
3. Provide the following information:
   • AWS Region
   • Stream Name

Event Format

Events sent to your Kinesis stream will be in the following format:

{
  "event": "Order Completed",
  "event_properties": {
    "order_id": "12345",
    "total": 99.99
  },
  ... etc
}

Best Practices

• Ensure your Kinesis stream has appropriate access policies (you will need to contact a member of the Ours Privacy team for this)
• Consider using Kinesis Data Firehose for automatic data delivery to other AWS services
