Amazon Kinesis cost saving tips
Optimize your Amazon Kinesis costs with these tips
Right-size Shards
Analyze data stream usage patterns and reduce unused shards. Since Kinesis charges per shard hour, optimizing the number of shards can lower costs.
Use Capacity Modes
Leverage on-demand mode for unpredictable workloads, provisioned mode for steady usage. Provisioned mode provides capacity reservations and can help predict costs.
Configure Retention Opt.
Configure data retention periods based on app needs. Kinesis charges for extended retention beyond 24 hrs. Shortening retention can reduce unnecessary storage fees.

Amazon Kinesis Data Streams uses a pay-as-you-go model and offers two capacity modes: on-demand and provisioned, each having its own billing system. On-demand charges by GB for data read/written and per data stream hourly. Additional costs apply for extended data retention and enhanced fan-out. Provisioned mode charges are based on the number of shards your app needs, plus charges for fan-out and data retention. Costs vary by region.
