Amazon Data Firehose makes it easier to reliably load streaming data into data lakes, data stores, and analytics services. It can capture, transform, and deliver streaming data to Amazon S3, Amazon Redshift, Amazon OpenSearch Service, and third party providers like Datadog, enabling near real-time analytics with existing business intelligence tools you are already using.

Amazon Data Firehose manages the provisioning and scaling of resources on your behalf. Amazon Data Firehose integrates with Amazon Kinesis Data Streams (KDS), and over 20 other AWS sources to ingest streaming data. You can also ingest data directly from your own data sources using the Direct PUT API. You can transform your data streams into formats like Parquet and ORC, and dynamically partition data to write to the Amazon S3 destination bucket with different S3 prefixes using metadata attributes. You pay for the amount of data you process through the service with no minimum fee or setup cost.
