# aws-cdk.aws-kinesisfirehose-destinations-alpha — This module is deprecated. All constructs are now available under aws-kinesisfirehose

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 137.5K/mo

## What it is and what it does

This package provides AWS CDK constructs for configuring destinations on Kinesis Data Firehose delivery streams. It wraps lower-level AWS infrastructure abstractions into reusable components that developers can use when defining delivery streams via the `destinations` property. The package depends on aws-cdk-lib, constructs, jsii, publication, and typeguard to bridge Python and the underlying CDK model.

The package is explicitly deprecated: its functionality has been consolidated into aws-cdk-lib/aws-kinesisfirehose. While still maintained and receiving updates (last commit 2026-08-14), it is marked as inactive development status and carries an alpha stability banner indicating backward compatibility is not guaranteed. New code should use the consolidated module instead.

Use it for:

- Define Firehose delivery stream destinations in AWS CDK Python projects when working with legacy code not yet migrated to aws-cdk-lib.
- Configure S3, Redshift, or other destination targets for Kinesis Firehose streams using CDK constructs.
- Build infrastructure-as-code templates that specify where Firehose should deliver streaming data.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Provides AWS CDK constructs for configuring destinations on Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose delivery streams.

No. The package is explicitly deprecated and its constructs have been moved to aws-cdk-lib/aws-kinesisfirehose. New projects should use the consolidated module directly. Install only if maintaining legacy code that already depends on this alpha package and migration is not yet feasible.

## Install

pip install aws-cdk-aws-kinesisfirehose-destinations-alpha
uv add aws-cdk-aws-kinesisfirehose-destinations-alpha
poetry add aws-cdk-aws-kinesisfirehose-destinations-alpha

## Installing aws-cdk.aws-kinesisfirehose-destinations-alpha

Before you install: Low install friction with a wheel distribution. Maintenance status is active, though the package is marked as deprecated in favor of constructs now available under aws-kinesisfirehose in aws-cdk-lib.

License in practice: Licensed under Apache-2.0 (permissive), allowing commercial and private use with minimal restrictions.

Quickstart:

pip install aws-cdk.aws-kinesisfirehose-destinations-alpha

import aws_cdk.aws_kinesisfirehose_destinations_alpha as destinations

Requires Python ~=3.9 and aws-cdk-lib as a runtime dependency.

Verify before relying:

- Whether migration from this alpha package to aws-cdk-lib/aws-kinesisfirehose is straightforward or requires code changes.
- Scope and stability guarantees of the constructs provided, given the 'Inactive' development status classifier.
