title: How to copy data in bulk from Kinesis -> Redshift
body: <p>When i read about AWS data pipeline the idea immediately struck - produce statistics to kinesis and create a job in pipeline that will consume data from kinesis and COPY it to redshift every hour. All in one go.</p>
  
  <p>But it seems there is no node in pipeline that can consume kinesis. So now i have two possible plans of action:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Create instance where Kinesis's data will be consumed and sent to S3 split by hours. Pipeline will copy from there to Redshift.</li>
  <li>Consume from Kinesis and produce COPY directly to Redshift on the spot.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>What should I do? Is there no way to connect Kinesis to redshift using AWS services only, without custom code?</p>
