In this post, we show you how Medidata created a unified, scalable, real-time data platform that serves thousands of clinical trials worldwide with AWS services, Apache Iceberg, and a modern lakehouse architecture.

Today, AWS announced the new Amazon Kinesis Data Streams On-demand Advantage mode, which includes warm throughput capability and an updated pricing structure. With this feature you can enable instant scaling for traffic surges while optimizing costs for consistent streaming workloads. In this post, we explore this new feature, including key use cases, configuration options, pricing considerations, and best practices for optimal performance.

Today, AWS announced that Amazon Kinesis Data Streams now supports record sizes up to 10MiB – a tenfold increase from the previous limit. In this post, we explore Amazon Kinesis Data Streams large record support, including key use cases, configuration of maximum record sizes, throttling considerations, and best practices for optimal performance.

In this post, we demonstrate how to build a serverless architecture that processes real-time ICU patient monitoring data using Lambda event source mapping for immediate alert generation and data aggregation, followed by persistent storage in Amazon S3 with an Iceberg catalog for comprehensive healthcare analytics.

AWS provides two primary solutions for streaming ingestion and storage: Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) or Amazon Kinesis Data Streams. These services are key to building a streaming mesh on AWS. In this post, we explore how to build a streaming mesh using Kinesis Data Streams.

Encryption of both data at rest and in transit is a non-negotiable feature for most organizations. Furthermore, organizations operating in highly regulated and security-sensitive environments—such as those in the financial sector—often require full control over the cryptographic keys used for their workloads. Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink makes it straightforward to process real-time data […]

In this post, we show how to use AWS service integrations to minimize custom code while providing a robust platform for industrial data ingestion, processing, and analytics. By using Amazon S3 Tables and its built-in optimizations, you can maximize query performance and minimize costs without additional infrastructure setup.

We’re happy to announce a new feature in the Amazon Data Firehose integration with Amazon MSK. You can now specify the Firehose stream to either read from the earliest position on the Kafka topic or from a custom timestamp to begin reading from your MSK topic. In this post of this series, we focus on managed data delivery from Kafka to your data lake.

In this post, we walk through two solutions that demonstrate how to stream data from your Amazon MSK provisioned cluster to Iceberg-based data lakes in Amazon S3 using Amazon Data Firehose.

In this post, we explore how PackScan uses Amazon cloud-based services to drive real-time visibility, improve logistics efficiency, and support the seamless movement of packages across Amazon’s Middle Mile network.
