Run Spark 31% faster and optimize compute costs with Amazon S3 Express One Zone on Amazon EMR

As your Spark datasets grow, storage latency often becomes the constraint, impeding application performance. Query runtimes stretch, and the bottleneck shifts from compute to how fast each node can read from Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). We benchmarked this directly on Amazon EMR with TPC-DS at 3 TB scale. On an 8-node Graviton4 cluster […]

Query Amazon S3 access logs instantly with CloudWatch and S3 Tables

Knowing who accessed your data, when, and how is the foundation for security investigations, compliance audits, cost attribution, and performance troubleshooting. Detailed access logs capture every request: who made it, which resource was accessed, and what response was returned. In practice, though, they arrive as semi-structured records spread across different locations. Turning them into actionable […]
