Differentiate generative AI applications with your data using AWS analytics and managed databases
While the potential of generative artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly under evaluation, organizations are at different stages in defining their generative AI vision. In many organizations, the focus is on large language models (LLMs), and foundation models (FMs) more broadly. This is just the tip of the iceberg, because what enables you to obtain differential […]
How ZS built a clinical knowledge repository for semantic search using Amazon OpenSearch Service and Amazon Neptune
In this blog post, we will highlight how ZS Associates used multiple AWS services to build a highly scalable, highly performant, clinical document search platform. This platform is an advanced information retrieval system engineered to assist healthcare professionals and researchers in navigating vast repositories of medical documents, medical literature, research articles, clinical guidelines, protocol documents, […]
Developer guidance on how to do local testing with Amazon MSK Serverless
In this post, I present you with guidance on how developers can connect to Amazon MSK Serverless from local environments. The connection is done using an Amazon MSK endpoint through an SSH tunnel and a bastion host. This enables developers to experiment and test locally, without needing to setup a separate Kafka cluster.
How HPE Aruba Supply Chain optimized cost and performance by migrating to an AWS modern data architecture
This post describes how HPE Aruba automated their Supply Chain management pipeline, and re-architected and deployed their data solution by adopting a modern data architecture on AWS.
Migrate Delta tables from Azure Data Lake Storage to Amazon S3 using AWS Glue
Organizations are increasingly using a multi-cloud strategy to run their production workloads. We often see requests from customers who have started their data journey by building data lakes on Microsoft Azure, to extend access to the data to AWS services. Customers want to use a variety of AWS analytics, data, AI, and machine learning (ML) […]
Evaluating sample Amazon Redshift data sharing architecture using Redshift Test Drive and advanced SQL analysis
In this post, we walk you through the process of testing workload isolation architecture using Amazon Redshift Data Sharing and Test Drive utility. We demonstrate how you can use SQL for advanced price performance analysis and compare different workloads on different target Redshift cluster configurations.
Publish and enrich real-time financial data feeds using Amazon MSK and Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink
In this post, we demonstrate how you can publish an enriched real-time data feed on AWS using Amazon Managed Streaming for Kafka (Amazon MSK) and Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink. You can apply this architecture pattern to various use cases within the capital markets industry; we discuss some of those use cases in this post.
Amazon Redshift data ingestion options
Amazon Redshift, a warehousing service, offers a variety of options for ingesting data from diverse sources into its high-performance, scalable environment. Whether your data resides in operational databases, data lakes, on-premises systems, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), or other AWS services, Amazon Redshift provides multiple ingestion methods to meet your specific needs. The currently […]
Integrate sparse and dense vectors to enhance knowledge retrieval in RAG using Amazon OpenSearch Service
In this post, instead of using the BM25 algorithm, we introduce sparse vector retrieval. This approach offers improved term expansion while maintaining interpretability. We walk through the steps of integrating sparse and dense vectors for knowledge retrieval using Amazon OpenSearch Service and run some experiments on some public datasets to show its advantages.
Use the AWS CDK with the Data Solutions Framework to provision and manage Amazon Redshift Serverless
In this post, we demonstrate how to use the AWS CDK and DSF to create a multi-data warehouse platform based on Amazon Redshift Serverless. DSF simplifies the provisioning of Redshift Serverless, initialization and cataloging of data, and data sharing between different data warehouse deployments.
