Rudderstack

Our real-time data streaming infrastructure is built on-top of the AWS Kinesis Data Streams service, as such we will be connecting Rudderstack to Shaped via the Kinesis Data Stream Event Streaming Destination.

In order to forward events from Rudderstack to Kinesis you will need to perform the following steps:

  1. Reach out to the Shaped team who will provide you with the AWS Kinesis Stream name and AWS IAM Role Resource Name credentials
  2. In Rudderstack, navigate to 'Cloud Destinations' then find 'Amazon Kinesis'. Enter a sync name, then click 'Create Sync'.
  3. Click Edit, then enter the following details:
    • AWS Kinesis Stream Name "ShapedDatasetStream-*****"
    • AWS IAM Role Resource Name (ARN) "kinesisIamRoleArn": "arn:aws:iam::*****:role/ShapedDatasetAccessRole-*****"
    • AWS Region: us-east-2
  4. Use the Rudderstack Sources tab to select the events you want to send. You can send all events, but our team recommends choosing the most important events that indicate user engagement on your content.
  5. When finished, enable the destination and save.
