Hi Everyone,

I am using Gatling 2.2.2. I want to load test our AWS Kinesis stream (which in turn invokes AWS Lambdas).

While reading from different forums, I realised that I need to write a custom protocol for putting records into Kinesis. I found an example for custom protocol implementation for [AWS Lambda](https://www.trivento.io/write-custom-protocol-for-gatling/). Unfortunately, it is for Gatling 2.1 .

Do we have an example for custom protocols with latest Gatling version? Or if you have an alternate suggestion to load test AWS Kinesis, I am open to it as well.

Any ideas or thoughts are welcome. Thanks in advance

Regards  
Rupesh
