Quick one - how is this implementation (link below) of Kinesis consumer and producer in boto different from KCL python? When should one opt for KCL Python vs. plain boto?

@chainhead KCL python and boto are different. You can treat boto as Kinesis Data Streams API. From the AWS document, here is what they say: "KCL provides a layer of abstraction specifically for processing data in a consumer role". So maybe it's better to use KCL to develop your application.
