After careful consideration, we have decided to discontinue Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics for SQL applications in two steps:

1. From October 15, 2025, you will not be able to create new Kinesis Data Analytics for SQL applications.

2. We will delete your applications starting January 27, 2026. You will not be able to start or operate your Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics for SQL applications. Support will no longer be available for Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics for SQL from that time. For more information, see Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics for SQL Applications discontinuation.

StopApplication

Note

This documentation is for version 1 of the Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics API, which only supports SQL applications. Version 2 of the API supports SQL and Java applications. For more information about version 2, see Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics API V2 Documentation.

Stops the application from processing input data. You can stop an application only if it is in the running state. You can use the DescribeApplication operation to find the application state. After the application is stopped, Amazon Kinesis Analytics stops reading data from the input, the application stops processing data, and there is no output written to the destination.

This operation requires permissions to perform the kinesisanalytics:StopApplication action.
