aws-cdk.aws-kinesisfirehose-alpha
This module is deprecated. All constructs are now available under aws-kinesisfirehose
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No. This package is deprecated and explicitly directs users to aws-kinesisfirehose in aws-cdk-lib. Install only if maintaining or migrating existing code that already depends on it; for new projects, use aws-cdk-lib/aws-kinesisfirehose instead. No known security vulnerabilities, but the alpha status and inactive classification signal that this is a legacy module.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.9 or later; intended for use within AWS CDK projects (aws-cdk-lib and constructs are runtime dependencies).
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel distribution.
- The package is marked inactive (Development Status 7) and its summary explicitly states it is deprecated—all constructs have moved to aws-kinesisfirehose in aws-cdk-lib.

What it is and what it does
This package provides AWS CDK L2 constructs for Amazon Data Firehose (formerly Kinesis Data Firehose), a managed service that delivers real-time streaming data to storage and analytics destinations. It allows you to define delivery streams in Python code, specifying sources (Kinesis streams or direct API calls), destinations (currently S3 via L2 constructs, with L1 support for Redshift, Elasticsearch, and third-party services), and optional server-side encryption with AWS-owned or customer-managed KMS keys.
However, this module is deprecated and marked as inactive. The package summary and description explicitly state that all constructs have moved to aws-kinesisfirehose within aws-cdk-lib. While the module remains functional and the underlying AWS CDK repository is actively maintained, new code should use the canonical location in aws-cdk-lib rather than this alpha module.
Use it for
- Define S3-backed Firehose delivery streams in CDK infrastructure-as-code projects that predate the migration to aws-cdk-lib.
- Set up real-time data pipelines that consume from Kinesis streams and deliver to S3 with custom prefixes and error handling.
- Configure server-side encryption for Firehose delivery streams using customer-managed or AWS-owned KMS keys.
- Migrate legacy CDK projects that depend on this alpha module before sunsetting the package entirely.

Before you install
Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel distribution. The package is marked inactive (Development Status 7) and its summary explicitly states it is deprecated—all constructs have moved to aws-kinesisfirehose in aws-cdk-lib. The repository remains active and well-maintained, but this alpha module is no longer the canonical location.
