In this post, we show you how to build a CDC pipeline that delivers query-ready Iceberg tables directly. The pipeline captures inserts, updates, and deletes from Aurora PostgreSQL and applies them as row-level operations in Amazon S3 Tables, a capability of Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).

On May 12, 2026, we announced the general availability of Amazon Redshift RG instances, powered by AWS Graviton processors. RG instances are up to 2.2x as fast for data warehouse workloads and up to 2.4x as fast for data lake workloads, all at 30% lower price per vCPU compared to RA3 instances. RG instances support all data lake formats supported by RA3 and eliminate Amazon Redshift Spectrum’s per-TB scanning charges. RG instances feature a custom-built integrated vectorized query engine, making them a more performant and cost-effective foundation for unified analytics. We are launching with two instance sizes: rg.xlarge and rg.4xlarge, with additional sizes coming later this year.

In this post, we explore scenarios where customers need more control over their network infrastructure when building their unified data and analytics strategic layer. We’ll show how you can bring your own Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) and set up Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio for strict network control.

In this post, we show how organizations can provide secure, private access to multiple Amazon OpenSearch Serverless collections from both on-premises environments and distributed AWS accounts using a single centralized interface VPC endpoint and Route 53 Profiles.

CyberArk is a global leader in identity security. Centered on intelligent privilege controls, it provides comprehensive security for human, machine, and AI identities across business applications, distributed workforces, and hybrid cloud environments. In this post, we show you how CyberArk redesigned their support operations by combining Iceberg’s intelligent metadata management with AI-powered automation from Amazon Bedrock. You’ll learn how to simplify data processing flows, automate log parsing for diverse formats, and build autonomous investigation workflows that scale automatically.

Tipico is the number one name in sports betting in Germany. Every day, we connect millions of fans to the thrill of sport, combining technology, passion, and trust to deliver fast, secure, and exciting betting, both online and in more than a thousand retail shops across Germany. We also bring this experience to Austria, where we proudly operate a strong sports betting business. In this post, we show how Tipico built a unified data transformation platform using Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (Amazon MWAA) and AWS Batch.

In this post, you learn how to build Log Lake, a customizable cross-company data lake for compliance-related use cases that combines AWS CloudTrail and Amazon CloudWatch logs. You’ll discover how to set up separate tables for writing and reading, implement event-driven partition management using AWS Lambda, and transform raw JSON files into read-optimized Apache ORC format using AWS Glue jobs. Additionally, you’ll see how to extend Log Lake by adding Amazon Bedrock model invocation logs to enable human review of agent actions with elevated permissions, and how to use an AI agent to query your log data without writing SQL.

In this post, we demonstrate how to implement Apache Spark Connect on Amazon EMR on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) to build decoupled data processing applications. We show how to set up and configure Spark Connect securely, so you can develop and test Spark applications locally while executing them on remote Amazon EMR clusters.

In this post, we demonstrate how to build a serverless architecture that processes real-time ICU patient monitoring data using Lambda event source mapping for immediate alert generation and data aggregation, followed by persistent storage in Amazon S3 with an Iceberg catalog for comprehensive healthcare analytics.

In this post, we discuss how to build a fully automated, scheduled Spark processing pipeline using Amazon EMR on EC2, orchestrated with Step Functions and triggered by EventBridge. We walk through how to deploy this solution using AWS CloudFormation, processes COVID-19 public dataset data in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), and store the aggregated results in Amazon S3.
