Streaming and real-time analysis of Twitter data through an AWS data stream

Twitter Analysis: Creating a real-time data pipeline to analyze tweets

This project streams real-time data from Twitter, performs natural language processing on the contents of the tweet, and displays the results in a Kibana dashboard. The Twitter data is filtered by a query word and processed to determine sentiment of the tweet.
