The AWS Glue Data Catalog provides a uniform repository where disparate systems can store and find metadata to keep track of data in data silos. Apache Flink is a widely used data processing engine for scalable streaming ETL, analytics, and event-driven applications. Transformed data can be stored in Amazon S3.

With Amazon EMR 6.15, we launched AWS Lake Formation based fine-grained access controls (FGAC) on Open Table Formats (OTFs), including Apache Hudi, Apache Iceberg, and Delta lake. Many large enterprise companies seek to use their transactional data lake to gain insights and improve decision-making.

In this post, we share how the AWS Data Lab helped Tricentis to improve their software as a service (SaaS) Tricentis Analytics platform with insights powered by Amazon Redshift. While aggregating, summarizing, and aligning to a common information model, all transformations must not affect the integrity of data from its source.
