Amazon S3 Tables

How Tubular Labs reclaimed 50% of engineering capacity by rebuilding their 70TB pipeline on Apache Iceberg and Amazon S3 Tables

Customer Story | Amazon S3 Tables – Learn how Tubular Labs (part of Chartbeat Inc.) reclaimed 50% of engineering capacity by replacing fragile, file-based data pipelines with a Common Pipeline Runtime (CPR) built on Apache Iceberg and Amazon S3 Tables. By Tubular Labs Engineering (part of Chartbeat Inc.), in collaboration with the AWS Solution Architecture team […]

Migrate VMware Storage to Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP using AWS Transform

Enterprise storage underpins every critical workload in a VMware environment. It’s not just capacity, it’s the operational backbone that delivers automatic failover, instant snapshots, writable clones, inline deduplication, and multi-protocol access that production applications depend on every day. When the time comes to migrate these workloads to the cloud, teams expect those same capabilities on […]

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 […]

Detect stalled Amazon S3 live replication to prevent unexpected storage costs

Organizations that replicate data across storage locations for disaster recovery, compliance, or analytics need a way to detect when replication stalls, because without early warning, unreplicated objects accumulate silently and drive unexpected storage costs. Most teams rely on automated retention policies to clean up the source copy after a defined period, but when replication breaks […]

Automate root cause analysis for AWS Backup failures with AWS DevOps Agent

AWS Backup centralizes data protection in your organization across hundreds of accounts and AWS Regions for more than 20 AWS services. At that scale, some jobs fail, and triaging each failure manually can take days. Most failures trace back to something small, such as a role missing permission, an encryption key policy blocking the backup […]

How Nearmap built continental-scale aerial search using Amazon S3 Vectors

Nearmap captures high-resolution aerial imagery across populated areas of the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand several times a year, at resolutions as fine as 1.5 inches. More than 10,000 customers globally use these images to assess insurance portfolios, size solar arrays, and track construction sites. Since 2007, Nearmap has completed more than 35,000 […]

Transfer Amazon S3 data from commercial AWS Regions to AWS European Sovereign Cloud using AWS DataSync Enhanced mode

With the introduction of AWS European Sovereign Cloud, organizations across Europe are adopting this dedicated partition to meet stringent data sovereignty requirements. However, organizations face significant operational challenges because they must maintain their existing AWS commercial partition deployments for global customers while simultaneously establishing AWS European Sovereign Cloud infrastructure. This dual-partition reality can cause data […]

Orchestrating multi-agent AI architectures with Amazon S3 Files

​​​​Organizations are moving beyond single-model AI toward multi-agent architectures. In these systems, agents offload intermediate results to files rather than carrying everything in the prompt, because a large prompt inflates cost and degrades quality. A model’s context window is finite, so files become working memory that persists after a session ends. In multi-agent systems, a […]

How WeatherBug reduced storage costs by 80% using Amazon S3 Storage Lens and Kiro CLI

WeatherBug is the third largest weather intelligence company in the US, delivering real-time forecasts, radar, lightning alerts, and interactive maps to over 10 million users. As their data footprint has grown across hundreds of Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) buckets in a multi-account AWS environment, their storage costs rose steadily with no clear visibility […]

Securing backup data against modern threats with AWS Backup

Enterprises face an evolving spectrum of threats to their backup data. From ransomware attacks that encrypt production systems and target recovery points, to accidental deletions by well-meaning administrators, to full account compromises that put every resource at risk, organizations can no longer assume that traditional backup approaches will keep their data recoverable. When backup infrastructure […]
