Cut your AWS Athena and Redshift Spectrum scan bill by re-optimizing your S3 data-lake Parquet to the layout your queries actually read. Billed purely per GB of data optimized, with a safe shadow-then-swap that never changes query results.
Overview
S4 Scan learns from your Athena query history which columns are read and which predicates filter your tables, then rewrites the underlying S3 Parquet into the physical layout those queries want: partition and row-group pruning, dictionary encoding, zstd, and small-file compaction. Athena and Redshift Spectrum bill per terabyte scanned from S3, so a smaller, better-pruned layout is a direct, recurring bill reduction.
This listing is pay-per-GB: you are billed only for the volume of data S4 Scan optimizes, with no hourly software fee. Safety is the core of the product. S4 Scan never overwrites your source data in place: it writes optimized data to a shadow location, verifies that every query returns byte-for-byte identical results (values, nulls, decimal scale, timestamp time zone), and only then swaps the AWS Glue table pointer. One-command rollback restores the original layout. There is no lock-in: output is standard, Athena-readable Parquet. A dry-run projects the dollar savings on your real tables before you commit. S4 Scan re-optimizes on an EventBridge schedule with no human in the loop.
Highlights
- Pay only for value delivered: billed per GB of data optimized, with no hourly software fee.
- Safe by construction: optimized data is written to a shadow location, verified query-result-identical (values, nulls, decimal scale, timestamp tz), then swapped via the Glue catalog, with one-command rollback. Source data is never modified in place.
- No lock-in, no babysitting: output is standard Athena-readable Parquet, and the AMI re-optimizes on an EventBridge schedule so savings compound automatically.

Dimensions summary
This listing bills on a single usage dimension: you pay per GB of data optimized, per hour. There are no tiers or instance-size choices to select — your cost scales directly with how much data the tool processes. As it re-optimizes your data-lake layout to cut the bytes queries scan, your charge tracks the volume it works on. Because cost rises with data processed, this pay-per-GB model fits workloads where scan volume is meaningful. You add your own EC2 compute cost separately.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You pay per GB of data the tool re-optimizes, metered per hour. The product rewrites your S3 Parquet into a layout your queries prune better. Billing tracks the volume of data it processes, not the number of queries you run or the bytes those queries scan.
It cuts the bytes Athena and Redshift Spectrum scan from S3, since both bill per terabyte read. Your per-GB optimization charge and separate EC2 compute cost still apply. At low scan volumes the running cost can exceed the scan savings, so it fits larger scan workloads.
No. The per-GB-optimized fee is separate from the EC2 instance cost. The tool runs as an AMI inside your own AWS account and VPC on a t3 or m5 class instance. You pay that EC2 charge on your regular AWS invoice alongside the software fee.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
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.
