Amazon Redshift expanded streaming ingestion capabilities by supporting Amazon Kinesis Data Streams records up to 10 MiB, a tenfold increase from the prior 1 MiB limit. This enhancement removes the need for splitting large records, streamlining pipelines for high-volume data workloads.

This feature was rolled out across all commercial AWS regions hosting Redshift, facilitating direct ingestion of larger data payloads, suitable for demanding analytics and data processing scenarios without structural pipeline changes.
