Kinesis operations fail when shard limit reached

warning
Resource ContentionUpdated Mar 24, 2026
How to detect:

Kinesis API throws exceptions when total shard count reaches the configured limit (default 100 shards), mimicking AWS shard quota limits.

Recommended action:

Increase KINESIS_SHARD_LIMIT beyond 100, or set to 'Infinity' to disable the limit entirely for testing. For production-like environments, plan shard allocation within the limit.
