It compares Kinesis Data Streams and Kinesis Data Firehose, explaining why Firehose has no Lambda destination, why writing individual S3 objects from Streams creates small-file problems, and why direct Lambda invocation from devices lacks buffering. The correct design uses Kinesis Data Streams as the ingestion layer with two consumers: the anomaly detector reading directly from the stream, and a Firehose delivery stream subscribed as a second consumer to handle batching and S3 archival. 106 25 5. 5 [](https://daily.dev/posts/day-16-30-aws-system-design-patterns-qs6ncb15o "Day 16/30 AWS System Design Patterns") Article Joud Awad · 5w Day 16/30 AWS System Design Patterns A real-time sports scoreboard built on AWS AppSync (GraphQL WebSocket subscriptions) and DynamoDB experiences a thundering herd problem during a championship final. When 95,000 users open the app simultaneously within 90 seconds, connection attempts peak at \~3,500/s — exceeding AppSync's default 2,000 connection requests/second quota. Rejected clients retry immediately, sustaining the overload and leaving 30% of viewers with frozen scoreboards. The correct fix combines a quota increase, client-side jittered exponential backoff, and connection sharding across multiple AppSync APIs. 102 25 [See all Joud Awad archives](/sources/iaC4JsBU0lV8wBsc85fSh/best-of) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/iaC4JsBU0lV8wBsc85fSh/best-of/2026/08#page","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/iaC4JsBU0lV8wBsc85fSh/best-of/2026/08","name":"Best Joud Awad Posts — August 2026","description":"The most upvoted Joud Awad posts from August 2026, curated by the daily.dev community.","isPartOf":{"@type":"WebSite","url":"https://daily.dev"}},{"@type":"ItemList","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/iaC4JsBU0lV8wBsc85fSh/best-of/2026/08#items","numberOfItems":5,"itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/3ngiuticq","name":""},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/sypyx660x","name":""},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/zpmr722cq","name":""},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/day-27-30-aws-system-design-patterns-zshlhvrvq","name":"Day 27/30 AWS System Design Patterns"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/day-16-30-aws-system-design-patterns-qs6ncb15o","name":"Day 16/30 AWS System Design Patterns"}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Sources","item":"https://daily.dev/sources"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Joud Awad","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/iaC4JsBU0lV8wBsc85fSh"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"Best of","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/iaC4JsBU0lV8wBsc85fSh/best-of"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"name":"August 2026"}]}]} ```
