After careful consideration, we have decided to discontinue Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics for SQL applications in two steps:
1. From October 15, 2025, you will not be able to create new Kinesis Data Analytics for SQL applications.
2. We will delete your applications starting January 27, 2026. You will not be able to start or operate your Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics for SQL applications. Support will no longer be available for Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics for SQL from that time. For more information, see Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics for SQL Applications discontinuation.
Resilience in Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics
The Amazon global infrastructure is built around Amazon Regions and Availability Zones. Amazon Regions provide multiple physically separated and isolated Availability Zones, which are connected with low-latency, high-throughput, and highly redundant networking. With Availability Zones, you can design and operate applications and databases that automatically fail over between Availability Zones without interruption. Availability Zones are more highly available, fault tolerant, and scalable than traditional single or multiple data center infrastructures.
For more information about Amazon Regions and Availability Zones, see Amazon Global
Infrastructure
In addition to the Amazon global infrastructure, Kinesis Data Analytics offers several features to help support your data resiliency and backup needs.
Disaster Recovery
Kinesis Data Analytics runs in a serverless mode, and takes care of host degradations, Availability Zone availability, and other infrastructure related issues by performing automatic migration. When this happens, Kinesis Data Analytics ensures that the application is processed without any loss of data.
