Serverless Data Pipeline build with Amazon API Gateway, AWS Lambda, Amazon Kinesis Firehose, Amazon S3, and Amazon Athena.

See scripts/deploy.sh (customize your deployment bucket and stack name).

See scripts/track.sh (customize your stack name).

It depends on the data that you collect and on the virtual tables that you define on Athena and Glue.

The file queries.sql contains a few sample queries that you can run with the default schema (e.g. {"name": "John", "action": "charge", "value": 100}).

This stack will create the following resources:

• An API Gateway endpoint that you can use to track events by submitting any JSON data via the HTTP POST method
• A Kinesis Firehose Delivery Stream that will buffer, optionally compress, and write each record into S3
• A Lambda Function to process/manipulate/clean/skip records before they get written into S3
• An S3 Bucket that will contain all the collected data
• Three Athena Named Queries to get started quickly with serverless queries
• An IAM Role and Policy for API Gateway
• An IAM Role and Policy for Kinesis Firehose

• ApiStageName: The API Gateway Stage name (e.g. dev, prod, etc.)
• FirehoseS3Prefix: The S3 Key prefix for Kinesis Firehose
• FirehoseCompressionFormat: The compression format used by Kinesis Firehose
• FirehoseBufferingInterval: How long Firehose will wait before writing a new batch into S3
• FirehoseBufferingSize: The maximum batch size in MB
• LambdaTimeout: Lambda's max execution time in seconds
• LambdaMemorySize: Lambda's max memory configuration
• AthenaDatabaseName: The Athena database name
• AthenaTableName: The Athena table name

• TrackURL: The public URL to submit new records
• BucketName: The bucket that will store your data
• FunctionName: The Lambda Function that will process/validate records

• The architecture is 100% serverless (no hourly costs, no servers to manage)
• The API Gateway endpoint is publicly accessible (i.e. any browser or anonymous website user can potentially submit new records/events)
• You can customize the template to enable encryption at rest for Kinesis Firehose
• You can configure Kinesis Firehose's buffering (see Parameters above)
• Athena's Named Queries cannot be updated (you need to create a new query with a different logical name)
• Make sure the S3 bucket is empty when you delete the stack
