    Hello Srisakthi ,

    you have found the Eventstream source for Amazon Kinesis Data Streams and you are interested in support for Kinesis Firehose.

    I have no deep knowledge about both services but from it seems both AWS service life next to eachother, each with its own pos and cons.

    I recommend submitting a 'wish' for this support here. Share your wish here so others having the same question can upvote it.

    You also mention AWS Eventbridge.

    I think this is a good idea, having more ways to ingest data. Fabric add value on top of any data source, making it possible to share stream with anyone when authorized.

Hello! Currently, RTI supports Kinesis Data Streams but not Kinesis Firehose directly. You could use Firehose to deliver data to an S3 bucket or Data Lake, then use that as a source for Event Stream.

For your architecture questions:

  1. Using both Kinesis and Event Stream is possible but can add complexity; usually choose one primary streaming source.
  2. Consuming events from EventBridge into Fabric Event Stream is feasible and works well for integrating AWS events in real-time.
