Today, we are pleased to announce serverless Spark UI built into the AWS Glue console. You can now use Spark UI easily as it’s a built-in component of the AWS Glue console, enabling you to access it with a single click when examining the details of any given job run. There’s no infrastructure setup or teardown required. AWS Glue serverless Spark UI is a fully-managed serverless offering and generally starts up in a matter of seconds. Serverless Spark UI makes it significantly faster and easier to get jobs working in production because you have ready access to low level details for your job runs.

Amazon Athena is a serverless, interactive analytics service built on open source frameworks, supporting open table file formats. Athena provides a simplified, flexible way to analyze petabytes of data where it lives. You can analyze data or build applications from an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) data lake and 30 data sources, including on-premises […]

In this post, we demonstrate automating deployment of Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (Amazon MWAA) using customer-managed endpoints in a VPC, providing compatibility with shared, or otherwise restricted, VPCs. Data scientists and engineers have made Apache Airflow a leading open source tool to create data pipelines due to its active open source community, familiar […]

You can use several approaches to enrich your real-time data in Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink depending on your use case and Apache Flink abstraction level. Each method has different effects on the throughput, network traffic, and CPU (or memory) utilization. For a general overview of data enrichment patterns, refer to Common streaming data enrichment patterns in Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink. This post covers how you can implement data enrichment for real-time streaming events with Apache Flink and how you can optimize performance. To compare the performance of the enrichment patterns, we ran performance testing based on synthetic data. The result of this test is useful as a general reference. It’s important to note that the actual performance for your Flink workload will depend on various and different factors, such as API latency, throughput, size of the event, and cache hit ratio.

Managing data within an organization is complex. Handling data from outside the organization adds even more complexity. As the organization receives data from multiple external vendors, it often arrives in different formats, typically Excel or CSV files, with each vendor using their own unique data layout and structure. In this blog post, we’ll explore a […]
