Question

your application is using kinesis to ingest data from a number of environmental sensors which continuously monitor for pollution within a 1 mile radius of a local primary school. an ec2 instance consumes the data from the stream using the kinesis client library. you have recently increased the number of shards in your stream to 6 and your project manager is now suggesting that you need to add at least 6 additional ec2 instances to cope with the new shards. what would be your response to this suggestion?

Answer 1

My response to this suggestion would be that the number of shards exceeds the number of instances because a single worker can process an infinite number of shards.
