AI-powered analytics with Amazon Redshift Serverless & data sharing (ANT328)

Here is a detailed summary of the key takeaways from the presentation in Markdown format:

Scalable Multi-Warehouse Architectures with Amazon Redshift

Introduction

  • The presentation discusses how to build scalable and intelligent data systems using Amazon Redshift Serverless and Redshift Data Sharing.
  • The speakers are Sorp Das (Senior Product Manager), Ashish Agarwal (Principal Product Manager at Amazon Redshift), and Pranit Mandadi (Director of Platform Architecture at Hilton).

Challenges with Evolving Data Platforms

  • Customers are facing challenges with growing data sets, integrating new data sources, and complying with regulations.
  • There is no one-size-fits-all solution, as organizations have diverse requirements and objectives.

Amazon Redshift Serverless

  • Amazon Redshift Serverless automatically provisions and scales capacity based on workload needs, allowing customers to pay only for what they use.
  • Key enhancements include AI-driven scaling and optimization, expanded RPU range, and expanded regional footprint.

Amazon Redshift Data Sharing

  • Redshift Data Sharing enables live transactional data sharing between Redshift clusters without the need for data copying.
  • It supports sharing within the same AWS account, across accounts, and across regions.
  • Recent enhancements include incremental materialized views, granular permissions, and write operations through multi-warehouse data sharing.

Multi-Warehouse Architectures

  • Data Mesh: Allows different business units to collaborate on the same data within the same or across accounts.
  • Hub and Spoke: Centralizes data in a central data warehouse and democratizes access to BI tools and ad-hoc users.

Customer Use Cases

  • Logistics Company: Separated workloads for small and large data sets using Redshift Serverless, achieving 6x performance improvement.
  • Workforce Management Company: Used data sharing to serve external and internal use cases with cost savings and better performance.
  • Financial Company: Implemented a true data mesh architecture using Redshift Serverless and data sharing for near-real-time fraud detection reporting.
  • ETL Workload Scaling: Redshift Serverless automatically scales compute resources based on workload patterns, optimizing costs.

Hilton's Journey with Amazon Redshift

  • Hilton faced challenges with high concurrency, sub-30-second response times, and global access for a property analytics application.
  • Hilton started with a proof-of-concept using a dedicated Redshift cluster, then moved to a Redshift Serverless architecture.
  • The final multi-node Redshift Serverless cluster with 96 RPU was able to handle 31,000 users across 79 countries with an average query execution time of 10 seconds.
  • Key benefits: Workload isolation, faster time-to-insights, reduced admin overhead, chargeback capability, improved performance, and scalability.

Best Practices

  • Define data ownership and implement security and governance models.
  • Leverage Redshift Data Sharing for real-time data sharing and building data mesh architectures.
  • Utilize AI-driven scaling and optimization to address varying and unpredictable workloads.
  • Implement cost management strategies using Redshift Serverless features.
  • Continuously gather user feedback and evolve the architecture.
