No, unless you are maintaining an existing AWS CDK v1 project. This package is end-of-support as of 2023-06-01 and no longer receives updates. For new projects, use AWS CDK v2 instead. For existing v1 projects, plan a migration to v2 to maintain support and access to new features.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires AWS CDK v1 core library and associated AWS construct dependencies; v1 is end-of-support as of 2023-06-01.
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel.
- However, this is AWS CDK v1, which reached end-of-support on 2023-06-01 and is no longer being updated; users should migrate to AWS CDK v2 instead.

What it is and what it does
This package provides CDK constructs to define Amazon Kinesis data streams as part of your infrastructure-as-code stack. It wraps the AWS Kinesis API, allowing you to create streams with configurable shard counts and retention periods, set up server-side encryption with KMS keys, grant IAM permissions to principals, and emit CloudWatch metrics—all declaratively in Python.
However, this is AWS CDK v1, which reached end-of-support on 2023-06-01 and is no longer receiving updates. The package remains functional but unmaintained; AWS recommends migrating to AWS CDK v2 for ongoing support and new features. If you are starting a new project or maintaining an existing one, you should plan to upgrade rather than adopt v1.
Use it for
- Define Kinesis streams in a CDK stack with custom shard counts and retention periods for real-time data ingestion.
- Set up encryption on streams using AWS-managed or customer-managed KMS keys via CDK constructs.
- Grant read, write, or read-write permissions to Lambda functions, IAM roles, or other principals that need to access streams.
- Import and reference existing Kinesis streams created outside the CDK stack by ARN or attributes.
- Create CloudWatch metrics and alarms for stream performance monitoring from within your CDK application.
