Amazon Releases Beta Version of Kinesis Streaming Analytics Platform

Everyone is getting into the big data analytics business, and Amazon Web Services is no exception. The company has just announced a public beta trial for Kinesis, the data streaming analytics platform it announced at AWS Re:Invent. The service allows developers to pull data from a wide variety of sources as needed. The company promotes Kinesis as an alternative to Hadoop, and other observers say it’s similar to Storm.

However, blogger G.
