Amazon Redshift

Amazon Redshift now supports Amazon Kinesis Data Streams (KDS) record sizes up to 10 MiB—a 10x increase from the previous 1 MiB limit—fully matching the expanded maximum record size in Amazon KDS. This means you can stream significantly larger payloads directly into Amazon Redshift without splitting records, simplifying your ingestion pipelines and unlocking new use cases for high-volume, large-record workloads.

Amazon Redshift support for 10MiB record size in Amazon KDS streams is now available in all commercial AWS regions where Amazon Redshift is available.

What to do

  • Update your ingestion pipelines to leverage the new 10MiB record size limit.
  • Explore new use cases enabled by larger record sizes.
