Organizations frequently upload compressed TAR files to Amazon S3 for efficient data transfer, but downstream applications often need extracted files for processing. Although AWS Glue excels at processing splittable files across worker nodes, TAR files need single-node processing, traditionally forcing teams to manually provision servers, monitor extraction jobs, and manage resource cleanup. This post demonstrates […]

As enterprises scale their adoption of generative AI, one of the biggest technical challenges is connecting AI applications to the right data and making that data fast, accessible, and secure. AI agents are transforming industries through applications like customer support automation, personalized e-commerce recommendations, and research assistance in financial services and healthcare. These applications require […]

As applications scale, developers face a persistent challenge: analytical queries that slow down transactional databases, force them to copy data across multiple proprietary tools, and create disconnected data silos. For the 5 million developers building on Supabase, an open source Postgres development platform, this tension between operational and analytical workloads has become increasingly critical. The […]

Organizations face a critical challenge in data protection: how to retain ever-increasing volumes of backup data for extended periods while maintaining cost efficiency. Regulatory mandates, internal governance policies, and comprehensive disaster recovery strategies often necessitate preserving backups for months or even years. At the same time, the threat landscape continues to evolve, with sophisticated ransomware […]

Starting on April 6, 2026, we will be changing how server-side encryption with customer-provided keys (SSE-C) is enabled for Amazon S3 buckets. With this change, SSE-C will be disabled by default on all new S3 general purpose buckets. Furthermore, SSE-C will also be disabled for all existing buckets in Amazon Web Services (AWS) Accounts that […]

Large global organizations often struggle to efficiently manage data copies across different geographic regions when using distributed object storage services. Although several approaches exist for cross-region data writing, common solutions such as data replication or streaming can be costly and introduce latency issues. Many customers have core services deployed globally across multiple Amazon Web Services […]

Data scientists and engineers spend hours writing complex data pipelines to extract, transform, and load (ETL) data from various sources into their data lakes for data integration and creating unified data models to build business insights. The process involves understanding the source and target systems, discovering schemas, mapping source and target, writing and testing ETL […]

Today, consumers navigate thousands of products on e-commerce sites, hundreds of shows on streaming platforms, and countless options in digital marketplaces. This choice overload creates decision fatigue, yet consumers continue to demand more variety and make more purchases online. As a result, personalization has become essential—consumers reward brands that deliver relevant, tailored online experiences. However, […]

Cross-account Amazon S3 bulk transfers with enhanced AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) support become increasingly critical as organizations grow and accumulate vast amounts of digital assets across their enterprise. Managing millions or even billions of files presents unique challenges, especially when these files need to be moved securely between different AWS accounts. Operations such […]

Organizations face mounting challenges in managing and operationalizing their ever-growing data assets for machine learning and analytics workflows. When dealing with billions and trillions of objects, teams struggle to find what data they have and how to efficiently find specific datasets. Without proper data discovery and metadata management, teams spend valuable time searching for relevant […]
