In this post, we demonstrate how to use Iceberg Kafka Connect with Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) Connect to accelerate real-time data ingestion into data lakes, simplifying the synchronization process from transactional databases to Apache Iceberg tables.

In this post, we show you how to implement real-time data correlation using Apache Flink to join streaming order data with historical customer and product information, enabling you to make informed decisions based on comprehensive, up-to-date analytics. We also introduce an optimized solution to automatically load Hive dimension table data into Alluxio Universal Flash Storage (UFS) through the Alluxio cache layer. This enables Flink to perform temporal joins on changing data, accurately reflecting the content of a table at specific points in time.

In this post, we show how to set up workforce access with SageMaker Unified Studio using Ping Identity as an external IdP with IAM Identity Center.

The Alation and SageMaker Unified Studio integration helps organizations bridge the gap between fast analytics and ML development and the governance requirements most enterprises face. By cataloging metadata from SageMaker Unified Studio in Alation, you gain a governed, discoverable view of how assets are created and used. In this post, we demonstrate who benefits from this integration, how it works, the specific metadata it synchronizes, and provide a complete deployment guide for your environment.

In this post, we show you how the read-replica prewarm feature of Amazon EMR 7.12 improves HBase cluster operations by minimizing the hard cutover constraints that make infrastructure changes challenging. This feature gives you a consistent blue-green deployment pattern that reduces risk and downtime for version upgrades and security patches.

In this post, we discuss how you can use Amazon Redshift as a knowledge base to provide additional context to your LLM. We share best practices and explain how you can improve the accuracy of responses from the knowledge base by following these best practices.

In this post, we take you through customization options for managing the schedule of your Amazon Redshift maintenance events, along with Amazon Redshift maintenance tracks for optimizing cluster performance. We also walk you through how to set up Amazon Redshift event notifications using Amazon SNS.

Using Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio serverless notebooks, AI-assisted development, and unified governance, you can speed up your data and AI workflows across data team functions while maintaining security and compliance. In this post, we walk you through how these new capabilities in SageMaker Unified Studio can help you consolidate your fragmented data tools, reduce time to insight, and collaborate across your data teams.

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.
