With the ever-increasing popularity of streaming content, the need to enable users to collect, store, capture, and process large amounts of data from their distributed streams is crucial. By using Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose, you can capture massive amounts of live video data from millions of sources, and then make them available to consumers in a data-efficient and cost-effective format.
Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose lets you quickly load streaming data into data stores, data lakes, and analytics services. You can use it to capture, transform, and deliver streaming data to a range of Amazon services, including Amazon Redshift, Amazon S3, Amazon Elasticsearch Service. You can also use Kinesis to connect to generic HTTP endpoints and service providers such as New Relic, MongoDB, Datadog, and Splunk.
Firehose is a fully managed service that automatically scales to match your data throughput. You can also use it to compress, transform, and encrypt your data streams. This feature minimizes the amount of storage required for your streaming data and increases security.
Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose integrates with Amazon CloudWatch metrics so you can collect and analyze your data streaming metrics. For example, you could monitor the IncomingBytes and IncomingRecords metrics to track data ingested into Kinesis Data Firehose from your data producers. You can use Kinesis Analytics to analyze and process your data streams using standard SQL. It also comes with pre-built stream processing templates to help you manage your data analytics.
By integrating Amazon CloudWatch with the MetricFire platform, you can display your streaming metrics on aesthetically pleasing dashboards. MetricFire's advanced filtering lets you choose only the data views you want to see and discard the rest. You can also set up simple rules to discard data you no longer need, plus receive alerts via email or Slack when your data streaming is doing something it shouldn't.
Pingdom is a monitoring system that uses both synthetic and real user monitoring to deliver enhanced app and website troubleshooting.
Pingdom's synthetic monitoring allows you to simulate visitor interaction with your website or app to spot app errors or website failures before your users do. You can monitor site uptime from over a hundred locations worldwide or troubleshoot your website speed and identify webpage issues. You can also test user transactions such as shopping carts, logins, registrations, and even URL hijacking.
Pingdom's real-time user monitoring allows you to monitor how your users interact with your website or app. Pingdom's real user monitoring (RUM) is fully scalable and intuitive. Learn how your users experience your site based on device, location, and browser. Ensure you meet your SLAs or KPIs by setting your own goals and monitoring your performance. Record and compare user metrics over time to see how your website performs over weeks, months, or years.
Digital marketers can use Pingdom's synthetic monitoring to test new campaigns and ensure their users have the best experience. They can use Pingdom's real-time user monitoring to review how different user experience aspects, such as browser type or device, affect sales.
Web developers can test for website or app performance and spot defects while updates are in development. Web host providers can monitor performance in real-time to ensure client uptime. IT/Web Ops can use synthetic monitoring to quickly identify bottlenecks and spot backend issues with Pingdom's real-time user monitoring.
With MetricFire, you can amplify Pingdom's synthetic and real-time user monitoring. By integrating Pingdom with the MetricFire platform, you can display your metrics on aesthetically pleasing dashboards. With MetricFire, you can quickly understand complex websites at a glance or compare your Pingdom data with other monitoring systems.
