    S4 Scan - Pay-per-GB Athena Scan-Cost Reducer

     Info
    Deployed on AWS
    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.

    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.

    Version release notes

    Metering reliability: the hourly MeterUsage daemon now also fires about 2 minutes after instance launch (OnBootSec), not only at the top of each hour, so the first usage/heartbeat record for the gb_optimized dimension reaches the AWS Marketplace Metering Service promptly after launch. No pricing change and no change to the optimizer behavior.

    Additional details

    Usage instructions

    Deploy via deploy/cloudformation/s4scan-quickstart.yaml with EnableMetering=true. Billed per GB of data optimized, reported hourly to the AWS Marketplace Metering Service under the gb_optimized dimension.
