This is an interesting addition to AWS! I wonder how is this better than stitch or fivetran? It’s not immediately clear to me. Also I am doing the back the envelope math. It seems like app flow cost more than our current usage of stitch or even fivetran to our redshift warehouse and doesn’t even include some of our bigger other sources we use (MySQL, stripe). I am gonna do more analysis on this and see if this can be a potential cost saver for us in the longer. It’s exciting to see more competition in this space none the less.

The days/weeks/months/years it takes to get IT security in a highly regulated industry to let stitch/fivetran have access to my data.

This is one of a handful of very significant deficiencies in AWS's data/analytics portfolio. They haven't had good tools for getting data into AWS from the various places that profit centers store it. I hope they very aggressively pursue extending the number of supported integrations and finish building the product.

This is a huge step forward IMO.

I'm not seeing any compliance indications of this tool and it's not listed under BAA (HIPAA) eligible services: https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/hipaa-eligible-services-re...

Hopefully, that can change.

What's the cost differential would be another consideration. Stich feels very expensive at scale.
