We are excited to announce the general availability of Amazon OpenSearch Service zero-ETL integration with Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) for domains running 2.13 and above. The integration is new way for customers to query operational logs in Amazon S3 and Amazon S3-based data lakes without needing to switch between tools to analyze operational data. By querying across OpenSearch Service and S3 datasets, you can evaluate multiple data sources to perform forensic analysis of operational and security events. The new integration with OpenSearch Service supports AWS’s zero-ETL vision to reduce the operational complexity of duplicating data or managing multiple analytics tools by enabling you to directly query your operational data, reducing costs and time to action.

Amazon Kinesis Data Streams is used by many customers to capture, process, and store data streams at any scale. This level of unparalleled scale is enabled by dividing each data stream into multiple shards. Each shard in a stream has a 1 Mbps or 1,000 records per second write throughput limit. Whether your data streaming […]

This blog post is co-written with Sid Wray and Jake Koskela from Salesforce, and Adiascar Cisneros from Tableau.  Amazon Redshift is a fast, scalable cloud data warehouse built to serve workloads at any scale. With Amazon Redshift as your data warehouse, you can run complex queries using sophisticated query optimization to quickly deliver results to […]

Many organizations use external identity providers (IdPs) such as Okta or Microsoft Azure Active Directory to manage their enterprise user identities. These users interact with and run analytical queries across AWS analytics services. To enable them to use the AWS services, their identities from the external IdP are mapped to AWS Identity and Access Management […]

AWS recently announced that Apache Flink is generally available for Amazon EMR on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). Apache Flink is a scalable, reliable, and efficient data processing framework that handles real-time streaming and batch workloads (but is most commonly used for real-time streaming). Amazon EMR on EKS is a deployment option for Amazon EMR […]

In this post, we show how to build a Q&A bot with RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation). RAG uses data sources like Amazon Redshift and Amazon OpenSearch Service to retrieve documents that augment the LLM prompt. For getting data from Amazon Redshift, we use the Anthropic Claude 2.0 on Amazon Bedrock, summarizing the final response based on pre-defined prompt template libraries from LangChain. To get data from Amazon OpenSearch Service, we chunk, and convert the source data chunks to vectors using Amazon Titan Text Embeddings model.

Welcome back to our exciting exploration of architectural patterns for real-time analytics with Amazon Kinesis Data Streams! In this fast-paced world, Kinesis Data Streams stands out as a versatile and robust solution to tackle a wide range of use cases with real-time data, from dashboarding to powering artificial intelligence (AI) applications. In this series, we […]

Apache Spark is a powerful big data engine used for large-scale data analytics. Its in-memory computing makes it great for iterative algorithms and interactive queries. You can use Apache Spark to process streaming data from a variety of streaming sources, including Amazon Kinesis Data Streams for use cases like clickstream analysis, fraud detection, and more. Kinesis Data Streams is a serverless streaming data service that makes it straightforward to capture, process, and store data streams at any scale.

With the new open source Amazon Kinesis Data Streams Connector for Spark Structured Streaming, you can use the newer Spark Data Sources API. It also supports enhanced fan-out for dedicated read throughput and faster stream processing. In this post, we deep dive into the internal details of the connector and show you how to use it to consume and produce records from and to Kinesis Data Streams using Amazon EMR.

In this post, we show how to create an AWS Glue job that measures and monitors the data quality of a data pipeline using dynamic rules. We also show how to take action based on the data quality results.

In this post, we explore how to use Zingg’s entity resolution capabilities within an AWS Glue notebook, which you can later run as an extract, transform, and load (ETL) job. By integrating Zingg in your notebooks or ETL jobs, you can effectively address data governance challenges and provide consistent and accurate data across your organization.
