How EUROGATE established a data mesh architecture using Amazon DataZone

In this post, we show you how EUROGATE uses AWS services, including Amazon DataZone, to make data discoverable by data consumers across different business units so that they can innovate faster. Two use cases illustrate how this can be applied for business intelligence (BI) and data science applications, using AWS services such as Amazon Redshift and Amazon SageMaker.

Cost Optimized Vector Database: Introduction to Amazon OpenSearch Service quantization techniques

This blog post introduces a new disk-based vector search approach that allows efficient querying of vectors stored on disk without loading them entirely into memory. By implementing these quantization methods, organizations can achieve compression ratios of up to 64x, enabling cost-effective scaling of vector databases for large-scale AI and machine learning applications.

Enhancing Search Relevancy with Cohere Rerank 3.5 and Amazon OpenSearch Service

In this blog post, we’ll dive into the various scenarios for how Cohere Rerank 3.5 improves search results for best matching 25 (BM25), a keyword-based algorithm that performs lexical search, in addition to semantic search. We will also cover how businesses can significantly improve user experience, increase engagement, and ultimately drive better search outcomes by implementing a reranking pipeline.

Recap of Amazon Redshift key product announcements in 2024

Amazon Redshift made significant strides in 2024, that enhanced price-performance, enabled data lakehouse architectures by blurring the boundaries between data lakes and data warehouses, simplified ingestion and accelerated near real-time analytics, and incorporated generative AI capabilities to build natural language-based applications and boost user productivity. This blog post provides a comprehensive overview of the major product innovations and enhancements made to Amazon Redshift in 2024.

Introducing a new unified data connection experience with Amazon SageMaker Lakehouse unified data connectivity

With Amazon SageMaker Lakehouse unified data connectivity, you can confidently connect, explore, and unlock the full value of your data across AWS services and achieve your business objectives with agility. This post demonstrates how SageMaker Lakehouse unified data connectivity helps your data integration workload by streamlining the establishment and management of connections for various data sources.

An integrated experience for all your data and AI with Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio

Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio is an integrated development environment (IDE) for data, analytics, and AI. Discover your data and put it to work using familiar AWS tools to complete end-to-end development workflows, including data analysis, data processing, model training, generative AI app building, and more, in a single governed environment. This post demonstrates how SageMaker Unified Studio unifies your analytic workloads.

Simplify data access for your enterprise using Amazon SageMaker Lakehouse

Amazon SageMaker Lakehouse offers a unified solution for enterprise data access, combining data from warehouses and lakes. This post demonstrates how SageMaker Lakehouse integrates scattered data sources, enabling secure enterprise-wide access, and allowing teams to use their preferred tools for predicting and analyzing customer churn. The solution involves multiple data sources, including Amazon S3, Amazon Redshift, and AWS Glue Data Catalog, with AWS Lake Formation managing permissions.

Author visual ETL flows on Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio

Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio (preview) provides an integrated data and AI development environment within Amazon SageMaker. This post shows how you can build a low-code and no-code (LCNC) visual ETL flow that enables seamless data ingestion and transformation across multiple data sources.

Simplify data integration with AWS Glue and zero-ETL to Amazon SageMaker Lakehouse

AWS has introduced zero-ETL integration support from external applications to AWS Glue, simplifying data integration for organizations. This new feature allows for seamless replication of data from popular platforms like Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Zendesk into Amazon SageMaker Lakehouse and Amazon Redshift. This blog post demonstrates a use case involving ServiceNow data integration, outlining the process of setting up a connector, creating a zero-ETL integration, and verifying both initial data load and change data capture (CDC). It also highlights the advantages of using Apache Iceberg for data versioning and time travel capabilities within zero-ETL integrations.

Catalog and govern Amazon Athena federated queries with Amazon SageMaker Lakehouse

In this post, we show how to connect to, govern, and run federated queries on data stored in Redshift, DynamoDB (Preview), and Snowflake (Preview). To query our data, we use Athena, which is seamlessly integrated with SageMaker Unified Studio. We use SageMaker Lakehouse to present data to end-users as federated catalogs, a new type of catalog object. Finally, we demonstrate how to use column-level security permissions in AWS Lake Formation to give analysts access to the data they need while restricting access to sensitive information.
