AWS has repositioned HAQM Kinesis Data Analytics for Java to HAQM Kinesis Data Analytics for Apache Flink to emphasize our continued support for Apache Flink.
HAQM Kinesis Data Analytics launched in 2016 as an easy way to analyze streaming data using SQL. When customers asked us to support additional languages, we built a new offering called HAQM Kinesis Data Analytics for Java that employed Apache Flink as a stream processing engine. Today, customers experience HAQM Kinesis Data Analytics for Java as an easy way to build and manage Apache Flink applications. Kinesis Data Analytics also now supports more languages provided by Apache Flink, including Scala, with more coming soon. We are now reflecting that experience in the updated name, HAQM Kinesis Data Analytics for Apache Flink.
HAQM Kinesis Data Analytics for Apache Flink reduces the complexity of building, managing, and integrating Apache Flink applications with HAQM Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (HAQM MSK), HAQM Kinesis Data Streams, HAQM Elasticsearch Service, HAQM S3, and more. You can learn more in the Developer Guide.
