      The Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose API provides the easiest way to reliably load streaming data into data lakes,
      data stores, and analytics services. The API allows you to create and manage delivery streams, configure data
      transformations using AWS Lambda, set up destinations such as Amazon S3, Amazon Redshift, Amazon OpenSearch
      Service, and custom HTTP endpoints, and put records into delivery streams. It automatically scales to match your
      data throughput with no ongoing administration required.
