Compare Amazon Data Firehose vs. StarTree

Effortlessly capture, modify, and transfer streaming data in real time. You can create a delivery stream, choose your desired destination, and begin streaming data with minimal effort. The system automatically provisions and scales necessary compute, memory, and network resources without the need for continuous management. You can convert raw streaming data into various formats such as Apache Parquet and dynamically partition it without the hassle of developing your processing pipelines. Amazon Data Firehose is the most straightforward method to obtain, transform, and dispatch data streams in mere seconds to data lakes, data warehouses, and analytics platforms. To utilize Amazon Data Firehose, simply establish a stream by specifying the source, destination, and any transformations needed. The service continuously processes your data stream, automatically adjusts its scale according to the data volume, and ensures delivery within seconds. You can either choose a source for your data stream or utilize the Firehose Direct PUT API to write data directly. This streamlined approach allows for greater efficiency and flexibility in handling data streams.
