How BMW Group uses AWS serverless analytics for a data-driven ecosystem
Data is the lifeblood fueling BMW Group’s digital transformation.
Data drives BMW’s personalized customer experiences, connected mobility solutions, and analytical insights. This session walks through the journey of building BMW Group’s Cloud Data Hub. BMW Group’s technical lead, Simon Kern, dives deep into how the company is leveraging AWS serverless capabilities for delivering ETL functions on big data in a modularized, accessible, and repeatable fashion and provides insight into the next steps of the journey. The services used in BMW Group’s AWS architecture are discussed, including AWS Glue, Amazon Athena, Amazon SageMaker, and more.
Let's jump right into the Cloud Data Hub, which is our central data lake for the BMW Group built on AWS technologies. It's really a cloud native data lake that makes it easy to ingest data, has a scalable storage solution, and it opens many possibilities for use cases to use the data and get value out of it."
