kinesis data stream performance testing with partition key


I am using the Kinesis Data Generator tool and I was wondering how to define the partition key in the test data so that the data is distributed to all the shard evenly.

Solution

  • The tool already distributes data evenly which can be verified by enabling shard-level metrics specifically the incoming records metric.
