Embracing event driven architecture to enhance resilience of data solutions built on Amazon SageMaker
This post provides guidance on how you can use event driven architecture to enhance the resiliency of data solutions built on the next generation of Amazon SageMaker, a unified platform for data, analytics, and AI. SageMaker is a managed service with high availability and durability.
Powering global payout intelligence: How MassPay uses Amazon Redshift Serverless and zero-ETL to drive deeper analytics.
In this blog post we shall cover how understanding real-time payout performance, identifying customer behavior patterns across regions, and optimizing internal operations required more than traditional business intelligence and analytics tools. And how since implementing Amazon Redshift and Zero-ETL, MassPay has seen 90% reduction in data availability latency, payments data available for analytics 1.5x faster, leading to 45% reduction in time-to-insight and 37% fewer support tickets related to transaction visibility and payment inquiries.
Scalable analytics and centralized governance for Apache Iceberg tables using Amazon S3 Tables and Amazon Redshift
In this post, we’ll build on the first post in this series to show you how to set up an Apache Iceberg data lake catalog using Amazon S3 Tables and provide different levels of access control to your data. Through this example, you’ll set up fine-grained access controls for multiple users and see how this works using Amazon Redshift. We’ll also review an example with simultaneously using data that resides both in Amazon Redshift and Amazon S3 Tables, enabling a unified analytics experience.
How LaunchDarkly migrated to Amazon MWAA to achieve efficiency and scale
In this post, we explore how LaunchDarkly scaled the internal analytics platform up to 14,000 tasks per day, with minimal increase in costs, after migrating from another vendor-managed Apache Airflow solution to AWS, using Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (Amazon MWAA) and Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS).
Zero-copy, Coordination-free approach to OpenSearch Snapshots
In this blog post, we tell you how we enhanced the snapshot efficiency in Amazon OpenSearch Service while carefully maintaining these critical operational aspects. These snapshot optimizations are enabled for all OpenSearch optimized instance family (OR1, OR2, OM2) domains from version 2.17 onwards.
Automate replication of row-level security from AWS Lake Formation to Amazon QuickSight
This post outlines a solution to automatically replicate the entitlements for readers from the source (AWS Lake Formation) to Amazon QuickSight. This solution can be used even when the authentication method in Amazon QuickSight is not using IAM Identity Center and can work with both direct query and SPICE datasets in Amazon QuickSight.
Build end-to-end Apache Spark pipelines with Amazon MWAA, Batch Processing Gateway, and Amazon EMR on EKS clusters
This post shows how to enhance the multi-cluster solution by integrating Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (Amazon MWAA) with BPG. By using Amazon MWAA, we add job scheduling and orchestration capabilities, enabling you to build a comprehensive end-to-end Spark-based data processing pipeline.
Read and write Apache Iceberg tables using AWS Lake Formation hybrid access mode
In this post, we demonstrate how to use Lake Formation for read access while continuing to use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) policy-based permissions for write workloads that update the schema and upsert (insert and update combined) data records into the Iceberg tables.
Integrate ThoughtSpot with Amazon Redshift using AWS IAM Identity Center
In this post, we walk you through the process of setting up ThoughtSpot integration with Amazon Redshift using IAM Identity Center authentication. The solution provides a secure, streamlined analytics environment that empowers your team to focus on what matters most: discovering and sharing valuable business insights.
Correlate telemetry data with Amazon OpenSearch Service and Amazon Managed Grafana
In this post, we show you how to use Amazon OpenSearch Service and Amazon Managed Grafana to correlate the various observability signals that improve root cause analysis, thereby resulting in reduced Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR). We also provide a reference solution that can be used at scale for proactive monitoring of enterprise applications to avoid a problem before they occur.
