Analytics on AWS

Fastest way to get answers from all your data to all your users

AWS provides the broadest selection of analytics services that fit all your data analytics needs and enables organizations of all sizes and industries to reinvent their business with data. From data movement, data storage, data lakes, big data analytics, log analytics, streaming analytics, business intelligence, and machine learning (ML) to anything in between, AWS offers purpose-built services that provide the best price-performance, scalability , and lowest cost.

Scalable data lakes

AWS-powered data lakes, supported by the unmatched availability of Amazon S3, can handle the scale, agility, and flexibility required to combine different data and analytics approaches. Build and store your data lakes on AWS to gain deeper insights than with traditional data silos and data warehouses allow.

Purpose-built for performance and cost

AWS analytics services are purpose-built to help you quickly extract data insights using the most appropriate tool for the job, and are optimized to give you the best performance, scale, and cost for your needs.

What is

What is Operational Analytics?
Data management
Data management

AWS makes it easy for you to combine, move, and replicate data across multiple data stores and your data lake.

Scalable

Collect, store, organize, and analyze data from multiple sources and formats and scale it to any size. Use AWS Lake Formation to automate tasks required to set up a data lake while saving time defining data structures, schema, and transformations.

Ease of use

AWS allows you to easily move data between the data lake and purpose-built data services. For example, AWS Glue is a serverless data integration service that makes it easy to prepare data for analytics, machine learning, and application development.

Faster data integration

AWS gives you the ability to query data across different data sources such as databases, data lakes, and data warehouses. For example, Amazon Athena enables you to use SQL to query a data lake and federated query lets you query live data from relational databases.

Flexible and fast

Easily ingest data in a variety of ways, including leveraging Amazon Kinesis, AWS Import/Export Snowball, AWS Direct Connect, and more. Store all of your data, regardless of volume or format, using Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). You can also query data across different data sources such as databases, data lakes, and data warehouses.

Ease of movement

With data stored in a number of different systems, AWS allows you to easily move that data between all of your services and data stores: inside out, outside in, and around the perimeter.

Read the case study

"We built a 120TB data lake in Amazon S3, with 1500 different schemes and use AWS analytics services like Glue, Redshift, and Athena extensively. We couldn’t get these insights from a bunch of siloed databases and warehouses - we needed an S3 scale data lake."

- Bernardo Rodriguez
Chief Digital Officer, J.D. Power
