# Kinesis examples using SDK for Ruby
<a name="ruby_kinesis_code_examples"></a>

The following code examples show you how to perform actions and implement common scenarios by using the AWS SDK for Ruby with Kinesis.

Each example includes a link to the complete source code, where you can find instructions on how to set up and run the code in context.

### Invoke a Lambda function from a Kinesis trigger
<a name="serverless_Kinesis_Lambda_ruby_topic"></a>

The following code example shows how to implement a Lambda function that receives an event triggered by receiving records from a Kinesis stream. The function retrieves the Kinesis payload, decodes from Base64, and logs the record contents.

  data = Base64.decode64(payload['data']).force_encoding('UTF-8')

  # You can use Ruby's asynchronous programming tools like async/await or fibers here.
  return data

### Reporting batch item failures for Lambda functions with a Kinesis trigger
<a name="serverless_Kinesis_Lambda_batch_item_failures_ruby_topic"></a>

The following code example shows how to implement partial batch response for Lambda functions that receive events from a Kinesis stream. The function reports the batch item failures in the response, signaling to Lambda to retry those messages later.
