AWS access-log lakehouse gateway (x86_64 build). Keep every log in S3 + Apache Iceberg; forward only the signal to CloudWatch / OpenSearch / SIEM. Cut ingest bills 50-90%.
S4 AccessLake sits between your AWS log sources (S3 server access logs, AWS WAF, CloudFront, ALB, NLB, VPC Flow Logs, Network Firewall, Route 53 Resolver) and the high-priced destinations they normally flow into (CloudWatch Logs, OpenSearch, SIEM). It archives the full-fidelity log stream in zstd + Apache Parquet + Apache Iceberg on your own S3 buckets, then forwards only the signals you actually need - critical events, top-N noisy IPs, aggregated counts, sampled traces - to the expensive downstream services. Result: 50-90% reduction in CloudWatch / SIEM ingest GB while keeping every record for audit, incident response, and forensics. A built-in cost dashboard quantifies your savings in real time. A policy DSL controls what flows where, with dry-run rules and preflight lint validation. Merkle-anchored attestation proves the archive is complete - third parties can verify offline. Sold as a single Marketplace AMI on Usage-pricing with a 14-day free trial. You pay per ingested GB (metered via AWS Marketplace Metering Service - no license keys, no extra accounts) plus the EC2 instance cost from your own AWS account. Private Offers customize per-GB rates and annual commitments without a separate listing. This entity is the x86_64 build; a companion listing (S4 AccessLake, prod-k3vthggtlocfo) delivers the Graviton (arm64) variant.
Highlights
50-90% reduction in CloudWatch Logs / SIEM ingest GB while keeping full-fidelity access logs on S3 + Apache Iceberg (zstd + Parquet).
Policy DSL with dry-run rules and preflight lint validation; Merkle-anchored raw archive attestation for third-party audit.
Usage-priced Marketplace AMI with a 14-day free trial: per-normalized-GB metered via AWS Marketplace Metering Service; no license keys, IMDSv2 enforced, SSE-KMS by default.
AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Try this product free for 14 days according to the free trial terms set by the vendor. Usage-based pricing is in effect for usage beyond the free trial terms. Your free trial gets automatically converted to a paid subscription when the trial ends, but may be canceled any time before that.
You pay one usage-based rate for each normalized GB ingested. There is no hourly software charge and no license keys. Metering runs through the AWS Marketplace Metering Service. Your bill scales directly with how much log volume passes through the gateway. Because the tool forwards only selected signals downstream, your ingest volume can drop, which lowers what you pay here. You also pay the separate EC2 instance cost in your own AWS account. A 14-day free trial applies, and Private Offers can adjust the per-GB rate and add annual commitments.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What exactly counts as one "normalized GB ingested" for billing?
A normalized GB measures log volume after the gateway parses and standardizes records from your sources, before they enter the archive. It counts the data flowing through the gateway, not the compressed bytes stored on S3. Eight log formats are parsed, and each contributes to your metered total.
Does forwarding fewer signals downstream reduce what I pay for this software?
No. The per-GB charge applies to what the gateway ingests, not what it forwards. You still pay for the full normalized volume passing through. Forwarding only selected signals reduces your separate downstream ingest costs, such as CloudWatch Logs or SIEM charges, not the metered software fee here.
Besides the per-GB software charge, what other costs should I expect?
You pay the EC2 instance cost in your own AWS account, billed separately by AWS. Archived data lives in your own S3 buckets, so S3 storage and request charges also apply. The software meter covers only the per-normalized-GB usage rate.

An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
Version release notes
S4 AccessLake v1.0.3 - billing fix: the daemon no longer attempts a per-instance-type hourly MeterUsage dimension (not registrable on AMI custom-metering products; on v1.0.2 every hourly emit failed with InvalidUsageDimensionException and tripped the 6-hour fail-closed ingest gate). Billing is per ingested GB (ingest_gb) only, and the public offer now includes a 14-day free trial. No changes to ingest, archive, forwarding, or the dashboard.
