Kinesis isn't a good idea for low-latency queueing. It can handle high throughput, but it can often take anywhere from one to ten seconds for a message to make it through the queue.

Given that DynamoDB can reliably write in the 4-5ms range, a kinesis queue may not be necessary. Unless the point of the Kinesis layer is to keep the cost of DynamoDB provisioning low?
