Firehose compression cost

Hi,

In documentation there is no explicit additional cost when using compression in Firehose. It is more how compression influences ingestion price, as the more data is compressed => the less amount of data needs to be ingested/stored => the less you pay.

Hope it clarifies.

There are four main components to Kinesis Data Firehose pricing:

• Ingestion (per-GB / tiered)
• Format Conversion (per-GB)
• VPC Delivery (per-GB)
• Dynamic Partitioning (per-GB)

Specifying compression in your KDF configuration will not affect Kinesis pricing, but could lower storage pricing depending on where the data is being pushed.
