We’ll use Flink SQL via AWS Flink Studio — the simplest way to start.
What You’ll Need (Prerequisites)

  • An AWS Account: If you don’t have one, sign up.

  • An S3 Bucket: We need one for output. Create a new S3 bucket in your preferred region (e.g., my-flink-output-bucket).

  • A Kinesis Data Stream: This will be our data source. Go to the Kinesis console and create a Data Stream (e.g., my-flink-input-stream) with one shard for simplicity.
