In this two-part series, we show you how to build a data pipeline in support of a data lake. We use key AWS services such as Amazon Kinesis Data Streams, Kinesis Data Analytics, Kinesis Data Firehose, and AWS Lambda. In part 2, we focus on generating simple inferences from that data that can support RTP parameters.

In this post, I show you how to use AWS Step Functions and AWS Lambda for orchestrating multiple ETL jobs involving a diverse set of technologies in an arbitrarily-complex ETL workflow.

In this post, we’ll show you how to deploy an Ethereum blockchain using the AWS Blockchain Templates, deploy a smart contract, and build a serverless analytics pipeline for that contract based around AWS Lambda, Amazon Kinesis, and Amazon Athena.

In this blog post, we focus on how to get analytics out of the rich set of data published by Amazon Connect. We make use of an Amazon Connect data stream and create an end-to-end workflow to offer an analytical solution that can be customized based on need.

In this post, I’ll show you how to use AWS Step Functions to orchestrate your Spark jobs that are running on Amazon EMR.

In this blog post, I present a solution that exports system tables from multiple Amazon Redshift clusters into an Amazon S3 bucket. This solution is serverless, and you can schedule it as frequently as every five minutes. The AWS CloudFormation deployment template that I provide automates the solution setup in your environment. The system tables’ data in the Amazon S3 bucket is partitioned by cluster name and query execution date to enable efficient joins in cross-cluster diagnostic queries.

This solution provides a serverless approach to automatically assigning a friendly name for your EMR cluster for easy access to popular notebooks and other web interfaces.

Kinesis Analytics now gives you the option to preprocess your data with AWS Lambda. This gives you a great deal of flexibility in defining what data gets analyzed by your Kinesis Analytics application. In this post, I discuss some common use cases for preprocessing, and walk you through an example to help highlight its applicability.

In this post, we walk you through a solution that implements a continuous integration and deployment pipeline supported by AWS services. You can use the sample template and Spark application shared in this post and adapt them for the specific needs of your own application.

Deriving insights from large datasets is central to nearly every industry, and life sciences is no exception. To combat the rising cost of bringing drugs to market, pharmaceutical companies are looking for ways to optimize their drug development processes. They are turning to big data analytics to better quantify the effect that their drug compounds […]
