Kinesis Producer Library now supports the AWS SDK for Java 2.x

AWS announces a new version of Kinesis Producer Library (KPL) that supports the AWS SDK for Java 2.x for improved performance and security features. With the new KPL version 1.0, now you can fully remove the dependency on the AWS SDK for Java 1.x. You can upgrade your applications running previous KPL versions to KPL 1.0 without any change in your core data processing logic.

Amazon Kinesis Data Streams is a serverless data streaming service that enables customers to capture, process, and store real-time data streams at any scale. Kinesis Producer Library is an open-source library that simplifies producer application development, enabling developers to achieve high write throughput to a Kinesis data stream by aggregating and batching the data.

KPL 1.0 is available with Amazon Kinesis Data Streams in all AWS regions. To learn more, see the Amazon Kinesis Data Streams developer guide and KPL 1.0 release notes.
