This post explores robust strategies for maintaining data quality when ingesting data into Apache Iceberg tables using AWS Glue Data Quality and Iceberg branches. We discuss two common strategies to verify the quality of published data. We dive deep into the Write-Audit-Publish (WAP) pattern, demonstrating how it works with Apache Iceberg.

This post will explore how to look up the history of records and tables using Apache Iceberg, focusing on Slowly Changing Dimensions (SCD) Type-2. This method creates new records for each data change while preserving old ones, thus maintaining a full history. By the end, you’ll understand how to use Apache Iceberg to manage historical records effectively on a typical CDC architecture.

In this post, we explain how ultrafast delivery pioneer, Getir, unleashed the power of data democratization on a large scale through their data mesh architecture using Amazon Redshift. We start by introducing Getir and their vision—to seamlessly, securely, and efficiently share business data across different teams within the organization for BI, extract, transform, and load (ETL), and other use cases. We’ll then explore how Amazon Redshift data sharing powered the data mesh architecture that allowed Getir to achieve this transformative vision.

Adoption of data lakes and the data mesh framework emerges as a powerful approach. By decentralizing data ownership and distribution, enterprises can break down silos and enable seamless data sharing. In this post, we discuss how to choose the right tool for building an enterprise data platform and enabling data sharing, collaboration and access within your organization and with third-party providers. We address three business use cases using AWS Glue, AWS Data Exchange, AWS Clean Rooms, and Amazon DataZone through three different use cases.

Over the last year, Amazon Redshift added several performance optimizations for data lake queries across multiple areas of query engine such as rewrite, planning, scan execution and consuming AWS Glue Data Catalog column statistics. In this post, we highlight the performance improvements we observed using industry standard TPC-DS benchmarks. Overall execution time of TPC-DS 3 TB benchmark improved by 3x. Some of the queries in our benchmark experienced up to 12x speed up.

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.

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 […]
