Amazon Data Firehose Pricing

With Amazon Data Firehose, you pay for the volume of data you ingest into the service. There are no set up fees or upfront commitments. There are four types of on demand usage with Firehose: ingestion, format conversion, VPC delivery, and Dynamic Partitioning. Additional data transfer charges can apply. 

The base function of a Firehose stream is ingestion and delivery. Ingestion pricing is tiered and billed per GB ingested in 5KB increments (a 3KB record is billed as 5KB, a 12KB record is billed as 15KB, etc.). There are no additional Kinesis Data KDF charges for delivery unless optional features are used.

The base function of a Firehose stream is ingestion and delivery. Ingestion pricing is tiered and billed per GB ingested with no 5KB increments.

For records originating from Vended Logs, the Ingestion pricing is tiered and billed per GB ingested with no 5K increments.

You can enable JSON to Apache Parquet or ORC format conversion at a per-GB rate based on GBs ingested in 5KB increments.

For Firehose streams with a destination that resides in an Amazon VPC, you will be billed for every hour that your Firehose stream is active in each AZ. Each partial hour is billed as a full hour. Data processing charges apply per GB ingested.

You can enable Dynamic Partitioning to continuously group data by keys in your records (such as “customer_id”), and have data delivered to S3 prefixes mapped to each key. With Dynamic Partitioning, you pay per GB delivered to S3, per object, and optionally per JQ processing hour for data parsing.

For records originating from CloudWatch Logs, if decompression is enabled, the decompression pricing is billed per GB decompressed.
