What service provides Lambda blueprints for common use cases like converting GZIP and Kinesis Producer Library formats to JSON?

The correct answer highlights the functionality provided by Kinesis Analytics, which offers Lambda blueprints specifically tailored for processing data streaming through Amazon Kinesis. Kinesis Analytics simplifies the process of working with streaming data by allowing users to create Lambda functions that can ingest and transform data in real time.

Blueprints in Kinesis Analytics serve as pre-built templates that help developers efficiently set up Lambda functions for common data transformation tasks. For instance, converting GZIP and Kinesis Producer Library formats to JSON is a frequent requirement when dealing with streaming data. This feature enables quicker deployment and easier management of data processing workflows.

In contrast, while AWS Glue is a powerful service for ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) operations and data preparation, it does not specifically provide the same kind of immediate use case blueprints focused on streaming data as Kinesis Analytics. Amazon Kinesis Data Streams serves as the foundation for real-time data streaming, but it does not offer blueprints for Lambda functions. Lambda Functions, on their own, are serverless compute services that can execute code in response to triggers, yet they do not inherently include the blueprints for specific data transformations.
