Kinesis PUT Limit, what does it mean exactly?

Amazon claims that kinesis streams can scale "without limits" but "you should keep in mind" that "Each shard can support up to 1000 PUT records per second" does this means that I cannot wright more then 1000 messages per second per stream? Will I lose messages if I get over that number?

No. The limits are per shard, not per stream. If you need more throughput, add more shards to your kinesis stream. You can keep adding shards as needed.
