Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose: Developer Guide

This is official Amazon Web Services (AWS) documentation for Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose. Kinesis Data Firehose is the easiest way to load streaming data into AWS. It can capture, transform, and load streaming data into Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics, Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Amazon Redshift, and Amazon Elasticsearch Service, enabling near real-time analytics with existing business intelligence tools and dashboards you’re already using today. Kinesis Data Firehose is a fully managed service that automatically scales to match the throughput of your data and requires no ongoing administration. It can also batch, compress, and encrypt the data before loading it, minimizing the amount of storage used at the destination and increasing security. This guide provides a conceptual overview of Kinesis Data Firehose and includes detailed instructions for using the service. This documentation is offered for free here as a Kindle book, or you can read it online or in PDF format at https://aws.amazon.com/documentation/kinesis/.
