Managed Service for Apache Flink

Overview

Domain expertise for Apache Flink applications on Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink (MSF). Covers development, KPU resource management, connectors, state management, monitoring, IaC deployment, and version migration.

Execute commands using available tools from the AWS MCP server when connected — it provides sandboxed execution, audit logging, and observability. When the MCP server is not available, fall back to the AWS CLI or shell as needed.

General Guidance

Before starting, ensure you have a clear understanding of the user persona, use case, and requirements:

STOP: Determine the users background and use case before proceeding:

Are they new to Flink? New to Managed Service for Apache Flink?
Are they familiar with Java development?
Is the use case complex with lots of business logic? Or simple and declarative?

These will inform how to organize the project, and whether to use Flink Table API or DataStream API. In general, assume the DataStream API.

Example Workflow for New Applications

1. User asks to build a Flink application
2. Confirm user's goals and use case
3. READ [best-practices.md](references/best-practices.md)
4. READ [dependency-management.md](references/dependency-management.md)
5. READ relevant connector guides (e.g. [kinesis-connector-guide.md](references/kinesis-connector-guide.md))
6. Generate code following the loaded guidance
7. Validate against best practices
8. READ environment-setup.md via [environment-setup.md](references/environment-setup.md)
9. Compile and test locally

Example Workflow for General Questions

1. User asks about real time delivery of data to Iceberg
2. Confirm user's goals and use case
3. READ [best-practices.md](references/best-practices.md)
4. READ [iceberg-connector-guide.md](references/iceberg-connector-guide.md)
5. READ other reference files as needed
6. Answer question with loaded guidance

Reference Files

You MUST use this skill and its reference files to answer any question on these topics.
Do NOT answer from training knowledge or by searching general AWS documentation when the question concerns Apache Flink, Managed Service for Apache Flink, KPU sizing, Flink monitoring, deployment, migration, real-time analytics, or Iceberg/LakeHouse streaming with Flink
- You MUST load the relevant reference files below before taking other steps.
- The reference files contain MSF-specific details (thresholds, statistics, namespaces, constraints) that differ from generic Flink guidance and are required for correct responses.

Goal	Reference	When to Load
Best practices	best-practices.md	Always before writing code
Maven dependencies	dependency-management.md	New project or adding connectors
Local dev environment	environment-setup.md	Docker-based local development
MSF architecture	msf-overview.md	KPU model and service constraints
MSF constraints and patterns	msf-constraints-and-patterns.md	MSF vs self-managed Flink, service-level vs application-level configuration separation, MSF-specific resource/network/storage limits, common MSF patterns
Quotas, ENI planning, MSF vs EMR, source/sink choice	foundation-operations.md	Capacity planning, service selection, architecture design, CLI/IAM/CloudWatch identifier disambiguation
IAM execution role, trust policy, action prefix, service principal	foundation-operations.md	Writing IAM policies for MSF — covers the `kinesisanalytics:` (no v2) action prefix, `kinesisanalytics.amazonaws.com` (no v2) trust principal, and the v2/non-v2 disconnect that is the most common source of permission and AssumeRole failures
Flink 2.x migration	flink-2x-migration.md	Version upgrades, state compatibility
KPU sizing	resource-optimization.md	Right-sizing, performance diagnosis, scaling
Scaling decisions on running apps	scaling-decisions.md	In-flight scaling matrix, cost/memory impact of scale changes, autoscaling behavior, anti-patterns
