Get Insights Faster with Automated Data Analytic Pipelines 

Data and data sources are growing rapidly both in volume and diversity. This data also needs to be securely accessed and analyzed by any number of applications and people. The size, complexity, and varied sources of data means that customers need solutions that can help them analyze data at the scale and flexibility they need.

Data Warehousing

With services like AWS EMR, you can leverage Apache Hadoop for cost and performance optimized ETL processes by ingesting data from various sources and loading them into Redshift for analytics.

Serverless ETL

We have invested extensively in serverless technologies when building out ETL pipelines as major or supporting components for our customers’ needs. Entire ETL processes can be contained within an orchestration of Lambda functions, each triggered for different stages of these pipelines. AWS S3 is used as a data collector, and proxy storage vehicle for successive transformation or conversion jobs. Finally, exposing a secure entry point to the ETL system is achieved by creating REST API endpoints with AWS API Gateway. 

Data & Analytics Services

These are some of the AWS Services to highlight when facing real-world data analytics problems:

Store virtually infinite amounts of data in various file formats with out-of-the-box features like encryption, life-cycle management, enhanced access management etc., without thinking about servers and storage volume management. Data lakes, document repositories, and FTP systems can often be of central importance for many companies who work with Tangent Solutions.

AWS ATHENA

Athena turns a data lake in S3 into a rich source of information by enabling SQL-based querying for your S3 buckets. Athena integrates into the rest of the AWS ecosystem, allowing you to quickly take your data from its raw and unstructured state to visual dashboards and graphs for analytics, using services like Amazon QuickSight. 

AWS GLUE

AWS Glue is an event-driven, serverless computing platform that runs code in response to events and automatically manages the computing resources required by that code. With Spark jobs converted into crawlers for a wide variety of data types, Glue enables uniformity for your data analytics needs.
