cdk-constructs: Experimental

The APIs of higher level constructs in this module are experimental and under active development. They are subject to non-backward compatible changes or removal in any future version. These are not subject to the Semantic Versioning model and breaking changes will be announced in the release notes. This means that while you may use them, you may need to update your source code when upgrading to a newer version of this package.


This package provides constructs for creating Kinesis Analytics Flink applications. To learn more about using using managed Flink applications, see the AWS developer guide.

Creating Flink Applications

To create a new Flink application, use the Application construct:

 import path.*;
 import software.amazon.awscdk.core.*;
 import software.amazon.awscdk.services.kinesis.analytics.flink.*;
 import software.amazon.awscdk.services.cloudwatch.*;
 
 App app = new App();
 Stack stack = new Stack(app, "FlinkAppTest");
 
 Application flinkApp = Application.Builder.create(stack, "App")
         .code(ApplicationCode.fromAsset(join(__dirname, "code-asset")))
         .runtime(Runtime.FLINK_1_11)
         .build();
 
 Alarm.Builder.create(stack, "Alarm")
         .metric(flinkApp.metricFullRestarts())
         .evaluationPeriods(1)
         .threshold(3)
         .build();
 
 app.synth();
 

The code property can use fromAsset as shown above to reference a local jar file in s3 or fromBucket to reference a file in s3.

 import path.*;
 import software.amazon.awscdk.services.s3.assets.*;
 import software.amazon.awscdk.core.*;
 import software.amazon.awscdk.services.kinesis.analytics.flink.*;
 
 App app = new App();
 Stack stack = new Stack(app, "FlinkAppCodeFromBucketTest");
 
 Asset asset = Asset.Builder.create(stack, "CodeAsset")
         .path(join(__dirname, "code-asset"))
         .build();
 IBucket bucket = asset.getBucket();
 String fileKey = asset.getS3ObjectKey();
 
 Application.Builder.create(stack, "App")
         .code(ApplicationCode.fromBucket(bucket, fileKey))
         .runtime(Runtime.FLINK_1_11)
         .build();
 
 app.synth();
 

The propertyGroups property provides a way of passing arbitrary runtime properties to your Flink application. You can use the aws-kinesisanalytics-runtime library to retrieve these properties.

 Bucket bucket;
 
 Application flinkApp = Application.Builder.create(this, "Application")
         .propertyGroups(PropertyGroups.builder()
                 .FlinkApplicationProperties(Map.of(
                         "inputStreamName", "my-input-kinesis-stream",
                         "outputStreamName", "my-output-kinesis-stream"))
                 .build())
         // ...
         .runtime(Runtime.FLINK_1_13)
         .code(ApplicationCode.fromBucket(bucket, "my-app.jar"))
         .build();
 

Flink applications also have specific configuration for passing parameters when the Flink job starts. These include parameters for checkpointing, snapshotting, monitoring, and parallelism.

 Bucket bucket;
 
 Application flinkApp = Application.Builder.create(this, "Application")
         .code(ApplicationCode.fromBucket(bucket, "my-app.jar"))
         .runtime(Runtime.FLINK_1_13)
         .checkpointingEnabled(true) // default is true
         .checkpointInterval(Duration.seconds(30)) // default is 1 minute
         .minPauseBetweenCheckpoints(Duration.seconds(10)) // default is 5 seconds
         .logLevel(LogLevel.ERROR) // default is INFO
         .metricsLevel(MetricsLevel.PARALLELISM) // default is APPLICATION
         .autoScalingEnabled(false) // default is true
         .parallelism(32) // default is 1
         .parallelismPerKpu(2) // default is 1
         .snapshotsEnabled(false) // default is true
         .logGroup(new LogGroup(this, "LogGroup"))
         .build();
