Exactly. The biggest motivation to use Kinesis was the other services we could plug in from 'AWS ecosystem'. Lambdas have Kinesis triggers available natively. We did not have any concern with the latency of Kinesis. Now I'm curious, do you have any literature on the bad performance history?

Just past experience. In the end, the low data retention time was the real reason Kinesis didn't fit our needs, but the difference in write performance between the two was pretty stark. Read performance was fine for what we needed.
