HAQM EMR on HAQM EKS is a deployment option for HAQM EMR that allows organizations to run Apache Spark on HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (HAQM EKS). With EMR on EKS, the Spark jobs run on the HAQM EMR runtime for Apache Spark. This increases the performance of your Spark jobs so that they run faster […]

Data engineers and data scientists are dependent on distributed data processing infrastructure like HAQM EMR to perform data processing and advanced analytics jobs on large volumes of data. In most mid-size and enterprise organizations, cloud operations teams own procuring, provisioning, and maintaining the IT infrastructures, and their objectives and best practices differ from the data […]

This post was co-written with Daniel Gu and Yolanda Wang, from Kyligence. Today, more than ever, organizations realize that modern business runs on data—almost all our interactions with business are based on data, and organizations must use analytics to understand, plan, and improve their operations. That is where Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) comes in. OLAP […]

You can invoke the Steps API using Apache Airflow, AWS Steps Functions, the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), all the AWS SDKs, and the AWS Management Console. Jobs submitted with the […]

Data lakes on HAQM Simple Storage Service (HAQM S3) have become the default repository for all enterprise data and serve as a common choice for a large number of users querying from a variety of analytics and machine learning (ML) tools. Oftentimes you want to ingest data continuously into the data lake from multiple sources […]

A data lake is a centralized repository that allows you to store all your structured and unstructured data at any scale. You can keep your data as is in your object store or file-based storage without having to first structure the data. Additionally, you can run different types of analytics against your loosely formatted data […]

Update Feb 2023: AWS Step Functions adds direct integration for 35 services including HAQM EMR Serverless. In the current version of this blog, we are able to submit an EMR Serverless job by invoking the APIs directly from a Step Functions workflow.
