In this walkthrough, you leverage H2O.ai, Amazon Athena, and RStudio to make predictions on whether a song might make it to the Top 10 Billboard charts. You explore the GLM, GBM, and deep learning modeling techniques using H2O’s rapid, distributed and easy-to-use open source parallel processing engine.

You can provide access from an Amazon Cognito user pool to Amazon QuickSight with IAM identity federation in a serverless way. This solution uses Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda as a backend fronted by a simple web app.

Kinesis Analytics now gives you the option to preprocess your data with AWS Lambda. This gives you a great deal of flexibility in defining what data gets analyzed by your Kinesis Analytics application. In this post, I discuss some common use cases for preprocessing, and walk you through an example to help highlight its applicability.

In this post, I show how to build a schema-on-read analytical pipeline, similar to the one used with relational databases, using Amazon Athena. The approach is completely serverless, which allows the analytical platform to scale as more data is stored and processed via the pipeline.

Starting today, QuickSight will allow users to save the contents of a dashboard as an analysis within their account. As the user of a dashboard, this will allow you to create an analysis that contains all visuals from the dashboard.

If you’ve ever wondered if a serverless alternative existed for consuming and querying your AWS Cost and Usage report data, then wonder no more. The answer is yes, and this post both introduces you to that solution and illustrates the simplicity and effortlessness of deploying it.

In this post, I show how Systems Manager Automation can be used to automate the creation and patching of custom Amazon Linux AMIs for EMR. I also show how you can use Run Command to send commands to all nodes of a running EMR cluster.

In this post, I show you how you can use AWS services like AWS Glue to build a Lambda Architecture completely without servers. I use a practical demonstration to examine the tight integration between serverless services on AWS and create a robust data processing Lambda Architecture system.

I’m excited to share information about some new features in Amazon QuickSight. You can now search for datasets, analyses, and dashboards, you can create filter groups with multiple filter conditions that are evaluated together using the OR operation, and you can now use the built-in Amazon S3 analytics connector to visualize your S3 storage access patterns across multiple S3 buckets and configurations within a single Amazon QuickSight dashboard to optimize for cost.

In this post, we will walk through creating a new data set based on Salesforce data, creating your analysis and adding visuals, creating an Amazon QuickSight dashboard, and working with filters.
