Event-driven pipeline orchestration with Amazon MWAA and Airflow 3.0
Data engineering teams running Apache Airflow across multiple AWS accounts have no built-in way to coordinate workflows between separate Amazon MWAA environments. With Airflow 3.0 on Amazon MWAA, you can use asset-based scheduling and Asset Watchers with Amazon SQS to build event-driven, cross-account orchestration that replaces polling with near real-time triggers.
Building a scalable personalized recommendation system on AWS: From batch to real-time
Learn how the Everyday Essentials team built a scalable personalized recommendation platform on AWS using a batch-first architecture with Amazon MWAA for orchestration, Amazon SageMaker for training and vector search, and AWS Lake Formation for governed data access, then extended it to real-time with Amazon MemoryDB.
Patch perfect: Automating Amazon Redshift patch testing
In this post, we demonstrate an automated test suite that validates your Amazon Redshift cluster automatically after any patch, reboot, or modification. It uses standard drivers against real workload patterns to provide a verified gate between a patch landing and that patch reaching production.
AI-powered performance recommendations for Amazon Redshift
In this post, you learn how to build an AI-powered solution that collects the telemetry, pre-computes performance signals, correlates them with CloudWatch, and uses Amazon Bedrock to generate prioritized recommendations.
Why tombola chose Graviton-powered RG instances for Amazon Redshift
In this post, you learn how tombola followed a strict engineering principle: no changes to production without evidence. That meant a head-to-head comparison of RA3 versus RG on their actual workload. You also see benchmark results on Amazon S3 Tables and the migration from RA3 to RG instances.
Choosing the right workflow orchestration service for your use case: Amazon MWAA and AWS Step Functions
This post explores how to select the right workflow orchestration service based on your specific use case requirements. We’ll examine key workflow characteristics, present real-world scenarios, and provide practical guidance to help you make an informed decision for your particular needs.
A guide to capacity planning for Airflow worker pool in Amazon MWAA
In our previous post, A guide to Airflow worker pool optimization in Amazon MWAA, we explored when adding workers to your Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (Amazon MWAA) environment actually solves performance issues, and when it doesn’t. We walked through patterns like high CPU utilization and long queue times where scaling may be appropriate, […]
Automated tag-based DAG permission management in Amazon MWAA
In this post, we show you how to use Apache Airflow tags to systematically manage DAG permissions, reducing operational burden while maintaining robust security controls that complement infrastructure-level security measures.
Orchestrate end-to-end scalable ETL pipeline with Amazon SageMaker workflows
This post explores how to build and manage a comprehensive extract, transform, and load (ETL) pipeline using SageMaker Unified Studio workflows through a code-based approach. We demonstrate how to use a single, integrated interface to handle all aspects of data processing, from preparation to orchestration, by using AWS services including Amazon EMR, AWS Glue, Amazon Redshift, and Amazon MWAA. This solution streamlines the data pipeline through a single UI.
