For anyone who’s trying to make this work, after spending some time putting together a change to the amplify libraries, I realized all we need to do is create a simple wrapper around the AWSKinesisProivder, which we can use without modifying amplify-js because the library is designed to allow provider plugins. I was able to see events coming from my react-js app appearing live in a zeppelin notebook via the Kinesis Studio Notebooks using this approach.

My typescript implementation is here, tried to add lots of comments to explain usage: https://gist.github.com/justro/f72618744d96d9b26acedbb6a711f530

I think someone should make a pull request to edit the docs saying that autotrack does not work for Kinesis so people don’t get confused as it seems like this very important feature is being overlooked.
