DeNA Co., Ltd. (DeNA) engages in a variety of businesses, from games and live communities to sports & the community and healthcare & medical, under our mission to delight people beyond their wildest dreams. This post introduces a case study where DeNA combined Amazon Redshift Serverless and dbt (dbt Core) to accelerate data quality tests in their business.

In this post, we continue from Accelerate Amazon Redshift secure data use with Satori – Part 1, and explain how Satori, an Amazon Redshift Ready partner, simplifies both the user experience of gaining access to data and the admin practice of granting and revoking access to data in Amazon Redshift. Satori enables both just-in-time and self-service access to data.

REA Group, a digital real estate business, uses Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) and a data streaming platform called Hydro to efficiently share and access large amounts of data across multiple domains and services. This approach allows REA Group to maintain optimal performance and cost-efficiency while scaling to meet growing user demands. In this post, they share their approach to MSK cluster capacity planning.

ANZ Institutional Division has transformed its data management approach by implementing a federated data platform based on data mesh principles. This shift aims to unlock untapped data potential, improve operational efficiency, and increase agility. The new strategy empowers domain teams to create and manage their own data products, treating data as a valuable asset rather than a byproduct. This post explores how the shift to a data product mindset is being implemented, the challenges faced, and the early wins that are shaping the future of data management in the Institutional Division.

FINRA performs big data processing with large volumes of data and workloads with varying instance sizes and types on Amazon EMR. Amazon EMR is a cloud-based big data environment designed to process large amounts of data using open source tools such as Hadoop, Spark, HBase, Flink, Hudi, and Presto. In this post, we talk about our challenges and show how we built an observability framework to provide operational metrics insights for big data processing workloads on Amazon EMR on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) clusters.

These organizations use third-party satellite-powered terminal devices for remote monitoring using telemetry and NMEA-0183 formatted messages generated in near real time. This post demonstrates how to implement a satellite-based remote alerting and response solution on the AWS Cloud to provide time-critical alerts and actionable insights, with a focus on telemetry message ingestion and alerts. Key services in the solution include Amazon API Gateway, Amazon Data Firehose, and Amazon Location Service.

This second post of a two-part series that details how Volkswagen Autoeuropa, a Volkswagen Group plant, together with AWS, built a data solution with a robust governance framework using Amazon DataZone to become a data-driven factory. Part 1 of this series focused on the customer challenges, overall solution architecture and solution features, and how they helped Volkswagen Autoeuropa overcome their challenges. This post dives into the technical details, highlighting the robust data governance framework that enables ease of access to quality data using Amazon DataZone.

This post focuses on introducing an active-passive approach using a snapshot and restore strategy. The snapshot and restore strategy in OpenSearch Service involves creating point-in-time backups, known as snapshots, of your OpenSearch domain. These snapshots capture the entire state of the domain, including indexes, mappings, and settings. In the event of data loss or system failure, these snapshots will be used to restore the domain to a specific point in time. The post walks through the steps to set up this disaster recovery solution, including launching OpenSearch Service domains in primary and secondary regions, configuring snapshot repositories, restoring snapshots, and failing over/failing back between the regions.

In this post, we discuss how Volkswagen Autoeuropa used Amazon DataZone to build a data marketplace based on data mesh architecture to accelerate their digital transformation. The data mesh, built on Amazon DataZone, simplified data access, improved data quality, and established governance at scale to power analytics, reporting, AI, and machine learning (ML) use cases. As a result, the data solution offers benefits such as faster access to data, expeditious decision making, accelerated time to value for use cases, and enhanced data governance.

This is the final part of a three-part series where we show how to build a data lake on AWS using a modern data architecture. This post shows how to process data with Amazon Redshift Spectrum and create the gold (consumption) layer.
