Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics for SQL

Process and analyze streaming data using standard SQL

How it works

After careful consideration, we have made the decision to discontinue Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics for SQL applications effective January 27, 2026. We recommend that you use Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink Studio or Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink. Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink Studio combines ease of use with advanced analytical capabilities, enabling you to build stream processing applications in minutes. You can find code and architecture examples to help you move your Kinesis Data Analytics for SQL workloads to Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink Studio in our documentation.
