Free Data Lakes and Analytics on AWS

The fastest way to get answers from all your data to all your users

Analytics and Data Lake use cases

Simple and cost effective to run high-performance queries on petabytes of semi-structured and structured data so that you can build powerful reports and dashboards.

Run SQL and complex analytic queries against structured and unstructured data in your data warehouse and data lake, without the need for unnecessary data movement

Setting up and managing data lakes today usually involves a lot of manual and time-consuming tasks. However, AWS automates these tasks so that you can build and secure your data lake in days instead of months.

Search, explore, filter, aggregate, and visualize your data in near real time for application monitoring, log analytics, and clickstream analytics.
