Yet another Python Kinesis Library?

Sadly I had issues with every other library I could find :(

• https://github.com/NerdWalletOSS/kinesis-python

  • pro:
    • kinda works
  • con
    • threaded
    • Outstanding PR to fix some issues
    • checkpoints on every record on main thread

• https://github.com/ungikim/kinsumer

  • pro:
    • handles shard changes
    • no producer
    • no redis checkpointer/heartbeat
    • threaded/seems kinda complicated~
  • con
    • consumer only

• https://github.com/bufferapp/kiner

  • pro:
    • Batching
  • con
    • Producer only

• https://github.com/niklio/aiokinesis

  • pro:
    • asyncio
    • no checkpointing
  • con
    • limited to 1 shard / too simplistic

• https://github.com/ticketea/pynesis

  • pro:
    • checkpoints
  • con
    • hasn't been updated for 1 year
    • doesnt use put_records()
    • single threaded / round robin reads shards

  • pro:
    • checkpoints
    • asyncio
  • con
    • ?
