Kinesis Data Vs SQS Ordering

Kinesis

• to achieve ordering, your Kinesis Producers can send PartytionKey which will be hashed to the correct shard

SQS

• For SQS standard we don't have ordering
• SQS FIFO has order, but there is only 1 consumer.
  • We can have multiple consumers if we use Group ID.
    • Which allow us to have 1 consumer per group

Example

• 100 trucks, 5 kinesis shards, 1 FIFO
• Kinesis Data Streams
  • 20 trucks / shard
  • Parallel is 5, with 5MB/s
• SQS FIFO
  • can have 100 group id
  • can have up to 300 messages per second (3000 if batching)
