Hi,

I have tried using this sample. Its flooding data spuriously. Just for 5 minutes of usage I am charged about $143. Looks like aws-kinesis service is too costly. Please reduce the number of shards.

FYI, My billing amount.

US East (N. Virginia) Amazon Kinesis shardHourStorage $142.74 $0.015 per provisioned shard-hour 9,515.972 ShardHour $142.74

Regards, Amarnath

Kinesis ShardHour pricing mentions that the shard is charged at an hourly rate. That means as long as the shards exist the customer will be charged for it. In this case you have a 9515.972 ShardHours, at a rate of $0.015 it equivalent to $142.74 i.e. (9515.972 * 0.015). It would be recommended to delete the stream, if not in use in order to avoid getting charged for it.
