We’re excited to introduce a new enhancement to the search experience in HAQM SageMaker Catalog, part of the next generation of HAQM SageMaker—exact match search using technical identifiers. In this post, we demonstrate how to streamline data discovery with precise technical identifier search in HAQM SageMaker Unified Studio.

HAQM SageMaker Catalog now supports metadata rules allowing organizations to enforce metadata standards across data publishing and subscription workflows. In this post, we guide you through two workflows: setting up metadata enforcement rules for a specific domain and publishing an asset or data product in a catalog, and setting up metadata enforcement rules for a specific domain and subscribing to an asset or data product that is owned by a project within that domain.

HAQM OpenSearch Service also offers a multi-tiered storage solution to its customers in the form of UltraWarm and Cold tiers. In this post, we discuss this new capability and its use cases, and provide a cost-benefit analysis in different scenarios.

AWS re:Invent 2024, the flagship annual conference, took place December 2–6, 2024, in Las Vegas, bringing together thousands of cloud enthusiasts, innovators, and industry leaders from around the globe. Analytics remained one of the key focus areas this year, with significant updates and innovations aimed at helping businesses harness their data more efficiently and accelerate insights. In this post, we walk you through the top analytics announcements from re:Invent 2024 and explore how these innovations can help you unlock the full potential of your data.

This post will explore brief history of zero-ETL, its importance for customers, and introduce an exciting new feature: history mode for HAQM Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible Edition, HAQM Aurora MySQL-Compatible Edition, HAQM Relational Database Service (HAQM RDS) for MySQL, and HAQM DynamoDB zero-ETL integration with HAQM Redshift.

In this post, we explore new features of the AWS Glue Data Catalog, which now supports improved automatic compaction of Iceberg tables for streaming data, making it straightforward for you to keep your transactional data lakes consistently performant. Enabling automatic compaction on Iceberg tables reduces metadata overhead on your Iceberg tables and improves query performance

HAQM Redshift made significant strides in 2024, that enhanced price-performance, enabled data lakehouse architectures by blurring the boundaries between data lakes and data warehouses, simplified ingestion and accelerated near real-time analytics, and incorporated generative AI capabilities to build natural language-based applications and boost user productivity. This blog post provides a comprehensive overview of the major product innovations and enhancements made to HAQM Redshift in 2024.

Today, we are launching AWS Glue 5.0, a new version of AWS Glue that accelerates data integration workloads in AWS. AWS Glue 5.0 upgrades the Spark engines to Apache Spark 3.5.2 and Python 3.11, giving you newer Spark and Python releases so you can develop, run, and scale your data integration workloads and get insights faster. This post describes what’s new in AWS Glue 5.0, performance improvements, key highlights on Spark and related libraries, and how to get started on AWS Glue 5.0.

AWS has introduced zero-ETL integration support from external applications to AWS Glue, simplifying data integration for organizations. This new feature allows for seamless replication of data from popular platforms like Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Zendesk into HAQM SageMaker Lakehouse and HAQM Redshift. This blog post demonstrates a use case involving ServiceNow data integration, outlining the process of setting up a connector, creating a zero-ETL integration, and verifying both initial data load and change data capture (CDC). It also highlights the advantages of using Apache Iceberg for data versioning and time travel capabilities within zero-ETL integrations.
