We are excited to announce the general availability of anomaly detection capabilities in AWS Glue Data Quality. In this post, we demonstrate how this feature works with an example. We provide an AWS Cloud Formation template to deploy this setup and experiment with this feature.

Amazon OpenSearch Service securely unlocks real-time search, monitoring, and analysis of business and operational data for use cases like application monitoring, log analytics, observability, and website search. In this post, we examine the OR1 instance type, an OpenSearch optimized instance introduced on November 29, 2023. OR1 is an instance type for Amazon OpenSearch Service that […]

In today’s landscape, data streams continuously from countless sources such as social media interactions to Internet of Things (IoT) device readings. This torrent of real-time information presents both a challenge and an opportunity for businesses. To harness the power of this data effectively, organizations need robust systems for ingesting, processing, and analyzing streaming data at […]

Amazon Redshift ML is a feature of Amazon Redshift that enables you to build, train, and deploy machine learning (ML) models directly within the Redshift environment. Now, you can use pretrained publicly available large language models (LLMs) in Amazon SageMaker JumpStart as part of Redshift ML, allowing you to bring the power of LLMs to analytics. You can use pretrained publicly available LLMs from leading providers such as Meta, AI21 Labs, LightOn, Hugging Face, Amazon Alexa, and Cohere as part of your Redshift ML workflows. By integrating with LLMs, Redshift ML can support a wide variety of natural language processing (NLP) use cases on your analytical data, such as text summarization, sentiment analysis, named entity recognition, text generation, language translation, data standardization, data enrichment, and more. Through this feature, the power of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and LLMs is made available to you as simple SQL functions that you can apply on your datasets. The integration is designed to be simple to use and flexible to configure, allowing you to take advantage of the capabilities of advanced ML models within your Redshift data warehouse environment.

In this, we will provide a step-by-step guide showing you how you can build a real-time OLAP datastore on Amazon Web Services (AWS) using Apache Pinot on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) and do near real-time visualization using Tableau. You can use Apache Pinot for batch processing use cases as well but, in this post, we will focus on a near real-time analytics use case.

We are excited to announce a new feature in Amazon DataZone that allows data producers to group data assets into well-defined, self-contained packages (data products) tailored for specific business use cases. For example, a marketing analysis data product can bundle various data assets such as marketing campaign data, pipeline data, and customer data. This simplifies […]

In this post, we cover how to enable trusted identity propagation with AWS IAM Identity Center, Amazon Redshift, and AWS Lake Formation residing on separate AWS accounts and set up cross-account sharing of an S3 data lake for enterprise identities using AWS Lake Formation to enable analytics using Amazon Redshift. Then we use Amazon QuickSight to build insights using Redshift tables as our data source.

We’re excited to announce the new lower entry cost for Amazon OpenSearch Serverless. With support for half (0.5) OpenSearch Compute Units (OCUs) for indexing and search workloads, the entry cost is cut in half. Amazon OpenSearch Serverless is a serverless deployment option for Amazon OpenSearch Service that you can use to run search and analytics workloads without the complexities […]

Since the launch of tiered storage for Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK), customers have embraced this feature for its ability to optimize storage costs and improve performance. In previous posts, we explored the inner workings of Kafka, maximized the potential of Amazon MSK, and delved into the intricacies of Amazon MSK tiered […]

As builders, sometimes you want to dissect a customer experience, find problems, and figure out ways to make it better. That means going a layer down to mix and match primitives together to get more comprehensive features and more customization, flexibility, and freedom. In this post, we introduce Log Lake, a do-it-yourself data lake based on logs from CloudWatch and AWS CloudTrail.
