In this post, you learn how to build an application log pipeline for production use with Amazon CloudWatch Logs, AWS Lambda, Amazon Data Firehose, AWS Glue, and Apache Iceberg materialized tables. You then use materialized views to accelerate query performance. This solution helps you achieve faster query response times on large-scale log data without requiring you to manage continuous data lake refresh.

This post shows how developers, data engineers, and analysts can connect to a secure Spark Connect endpoint in Athena with Apache Spark. You can use your preferred tools, such as Jupyter notebooks, VS Code, or dbt with Apache Airflow, without managing cluster lifecycle or scaling.

We’re introducing a purpose-built log analytics engine for Amazon OpenSearch Service. This new engine delivers up to 4x price performance, 2x faster data ingestion, up to 2x faster analytical queries, and up to 70 percent lower storage costs. You get all of this without sacrificing search capabilities on the same data. In this post, you learn how to take advantage of these benefits, see how to get started, and review benchmark results at billion-document scale.

In this post, you learn how to build an AI-powered solution that collects the telemetry, pre-computes performance signals, correlates them with CloudWatch, and uses Amazon Bedrock to generate prioritized recommendations.

In this post, we show you how to diagnose multi-layer Medallion Architecture pipeline failures in minutes using AWS DevOps Agent with Apache Spark Troubleshooting Agent integrated as an MCP server.

In this post, you learn how tombola followed a strict engineering principle: no changes to production without evidence. That meant a head-to-head comparison of RA3 versus RG on their actual workload. You also see benchmark results on Amazon S3 Tables and the migration from RA3 to RG instances.

In this post, you learn how to migrate Amazon Redshift RA3 clusters to Graviton-based RG instances. We compare the Elastic Resize, Classic Resize, and Snapshot/Restore migration strategies, with key considerations and best practices to support a smooth migration. We also provide mapping guidance from RA3 to RG to help you right-size your cluster.

In this post, we demonstrate reading from and writing to Lake Formation-managed S3 locations using Apache Spark jobs from EMR. Lake Formation credential vending for S3 location access is available in EMR release label 7.13 and later, Boto3 1.42.29 and later, AWS Java SDK 2.41.32 and later, and AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) version 2.33.1 and later.

In this post, we explore how to build an online shopping AI agent. We focus on its architecture and implementation with Amazon OpenSearch Service, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, and Strands Agents. Amazon Bedrock AgentCore is an agentic platform for deploying and operating those agents and tools securely at scale without managing infrastructure.

This post explores how to select the right workflow orchestration service based on your specific use case requirements. We’ll examine key workflow characteristics, present real-world scenarios, and provide practical guidance to help you make an informed decision for your particular needs.
