Kinesis Example

This is a simple Lambda example that listens for events on a Kinesis stream. This example is based on the one from the AWS Lambda Documentation. The Lambda function in this example doesn't really do anything other than log some data but this example does show how all of the pieces go together and how to use kappa to deploy the Lambda function.

What You Need To Do

1. Edit the config.yml file. Specifically, you will need to edit the profile and region values and the event_source
2. Run kappa --config config.yml deploy
3. Run kappa --config config.yml test
4. Run kappa --config config.yml tail. You may have to run this command a few times before the log events become available in CloudWatch Logs.
5. Run kappa --config config.yml add-event-source
6. Try sending data to the Kinesis stream and then tailing the logs again to see if your function is getting called.
