I see your point, although I sense they are quite closely integrated? Additional info.. https://www.datanami.com/2016/08/17/sql-service-heart-amazon...

There are multiple different products under the same "Kinesis" branding umbrella, among them:

* Kinesis Streams (the product being discussed in the post)

* Kinesis Firehose

* Kinesis Analytics

Most people, when they discuss Kinesis, mean Kinesis Streams specifically. The other products are Streams consumers.
