Modernize your legacy databases with AWS data lakes, Part 2: Build a data lake using AWS DMS data on Apache Iceberg

This is part two of a three-part series where we show how to build a data lake on AWS using a modern data architecture. This post shows how to load data from a legacy database (SQL Server) into a transactional data lake (Apache Iceberg) using AWS Glue. We show how to build data pipelines using AWS Glue jobs, optimize them for both cost and performance, and implement schema evolution to automate manual tasks. To review the first part of the series, where we load SQL Server data into Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) using AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS), see Modernize your legacy databases with AWS data lakes, Part 1: Migrate SQL Server using AWS DMS.

Unlock scalability, cost-efficiency, and faster insights with large-scale data migration to Amazon Redshift

Large-scale data warehouse migration to the cloud is a complex and challenging endeavor that many organizations undertake to modernize their data infrastructure, enhance data management capabilities, and unlock new business opportunities. As data volumes continue to grow exponentially, traditional data warehousing solutions may struggle to keep up with the increasing demands for scalability, performance, and […]

Operational Data Processing Framework for Modern Data Architectures

Simplify operational data processing in data lakes using AWS Glue and Apache Hudi

AWS has invested in native service integration with Apache Hudi and published technical contents to enable you to use Apache Hudi with AWS Glue (for example, refer to Introducing native support for Apache Hudi, Delta Lake, and Apache Iceberg on AWS Glue for Apache Spark, Part 1: Getting Started). In AWS ProServe-led customer engagements, the use cases we work on usually come with technical complexity and scalability requirements. In this post, we discuss a common use case in relation to operational data processing and the solution we built using Apache Hudi and AWS Glue.

Converging Data Silos to Amazon Redshift Using AWS DMS

Organizations often grow organically—and so does their data in individual silos. Such systems are often powered by traditional RDBMS systems and they grow orthogonally in size and features. To gain intelligence across heterogeneous data sources, you have to join the data sets. However, this imposes new challenges, as joining data over dblinks or into a […]
