Amazon Kinesis Data Streams Gets Smart Scale-Down Powers

AWS just leveled up Kinesis Data Streams with the ability to scale down ingest capacity using warm throughput. Now you can dial back your stream's write throughput when traffic drops, keeping costs lean while maintaining peak-hour performance. It's like having a thermostat for your data pipeline—set it and forget it. Available free across all AWS regions for On-demand Advantage users.
