Although the Amazon Kinesis Docs mention that Kinesis streams can be used to send updates to dashboards, Kinesis has no native mechanism to do this alone. For some very good security reasons it's unwise to allow clients (i.e. from a webpage you serve) to access backend services like Kinesis directly.

Instead, you'll want to set up your application layer (Java, in this case) to listen to the Kinesis streams and expose any relevant events to your client, storing any changes you need to keep track of in your database (RDS, in this case). For a real-time dashboard I'd recommend using something like WebSockets to send events in real time to your webpage from your server, as they're widely supported and easy to use. Heres a tutorial on how to implement WebSockets on GlassFish
