How Proscia built unlimited observability with Amazon S3 and the Altinity Kubernetes Operator
Observability can claim a growing share of IT budgets. Learn how Proscia, a pathology AI company, built a self-hosted observability platform on Amazon S3, Amazon EKS, and ClickHouse managed by the Altinity Kubernetes Operator, achieving unlimited telemetry retention at object-storage cost under HIPAA, GDPR, and data-residency requirements.
Updating encryption on existing Amazon S3 objects with S3 Batch Operations
Large organizations accumulate billions of Amazon S3 objects under different encryption configurations. Learn how to use S3 Batch Operations with the new UpdateObjectEncryption API to standardize encryption across an entire bucket at scale. The approach moves objects from SSE-S3 to SSE-KMS in place, with no data movement and without breaking S3 Lifecycle policies.
How Snap optimizes AI storage with Amazon FSx for Lustre Intelligent-Tiering
At Snap Inc., the company behind Snapchat, cost is an important factor in every infrastructure decision. With research scientists and machine learning (ML) engineers working across a wide gamut of projects, from large language models to computer vision to video generation, the AI/ML platform team faces a constant balancing act: deliver the high-performance storage that […]
How MIXI built natural language search over billions of photos with Amazon S3 Vectors
MIXI, Inc. operates FamilyAlbum, a service that approximately 30 million registered users rely on to share photos and videos with the people closest to them. As of January 2026, families have shared more than 20 billion photos and videos through the service. They can rediscover a specific precious moment — a baby’s first swim, an […]
Running Apache Kafka with Amazon S3 Files
S3 Files is a shared file system that connects any AWS compute directly with your data in Amazon S3. It provides fast, direct access to all of your S3 data as files with full file system semantics and low-latency performance, without your data ever leaving S3. That means file-based applications, agents, and teams can now access and work with S3 data as a file system using the tools they already depend on.
How Comcast scaled analytics 80x while cutting costs 38% with GraphQL and Amazon S3 Tables
Customer Story | Amazon S3 Tables – Learn how Comcast redesigned their analytics layer with GraphQL and Amazon S3 Tables, scaling to 80x higher concurrent request volumes while cutting costs by 38% and reducing query latency by 28%. Comcast is building America’s largest and most intelligent broadband network with a simple purpose: connect everyone, everywhere […]
Accelerate inference with KV cache tiering on AWS
When running large language model (LLM) inference at scale on AWS, the GPU might not be the only thing that limits you. The GPU generates tokens fast, but what then contributes to performance is everything around it: memory, storage, and the network path that connects them. That’s the difference between a demo and production. Training […]
How Precisely transforms user experience with AI agents using Amazon S3 Vectors
At Precisely, the team is reimagining the user experience for its Data Integrity Suite by adding a conversational interface powered by AI agents to the traditional UI. With this enhancement, users can interact with the platform more naturally and intuitively (asking questions, making requests, and exploring data assets through dialogue) while still benefiting from the […]
Connect workloads to Amazon S3 Files across VPCs and accounts
Organizations store vast amounts of data in Amazon S3 for machine learning, data analytics, media processing, and generative AI workloads. Many of the applications, agents, and teams that work with that data are file-based: they read and write on a mounted path using the file and directory operations and POSIX tools they already depend on. […]
Build AI-powered file classification with AWS Transfer Family
Organizations that receive files from external partners through SFTP face a persistent operational challenge: routing each file to the correct downstream system. Invoices, contracts, images, CSVs, and reports all arrive in a single landing zone, and each requires a different destination. The traditional approach—pattern-matching on file names with regular expressions—is inherently fragile. It relies on […]
