We will discuss how to set up a remote dev environment on an EMR cluster deployed in a private subnet with VPN and the VS Code remote SSH extension. Typical Spark development examples will be illustrated while sharing the cluster with multiple users. Overall it brings an effective way of developing Spark apps on EMR, which improves developer experience significantly.

We'll discuss how to provision and manage Spark jobs on EMR on EKS with Terraform. Amazon EKS Blueprints for Terraform will be used for provisioning EKS, EMR virtual cluster and related resources. Also Spark job autoscaling will be managed by Karpenter where two Spark jobs with and without Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA) will be compared.

We'll discuss limitations of the Lambda invoke function operator of Apache Airflow and create a custom Lambda operator. The custom operator extends the existing one and it reports the invocation result of a function correctly and records the exact error message from failure.

We'll discuss how to implement data warehousing ETL using Iceberg for data storage/management and Spark for data processing. A Pyspark ETL app will be used for demonstration in an EMR local environment. Finally the ETL results will be queried by Athena for verification.

We'll discuss how to create a Spark local dev environment for EMR using Docker and/or VSCode. A range of Spark development examples are demonstrated and Glue Catalog integration is illustrated as well.

EMR on EKS is a deployment option in EMR that allows you to automate the provisioning and management of open-source big data frameworks on EKS. It can be an effective way of running spark jobs to manage big data (as well as non-big data) workloads. In this post, we’ll discuss EMR on EKS with simple and elaborated examples.

Change data capture (CDC) on Amazon MSK and ingesting data using Apache Hudi on Amazon EMR can be used to build an efficient data lake solution. In this post, we'll build a Hudi DeltaStramer app on Amazon EMR and use the resulting Hudi table with Athena and Quicksight to build a dashboard.

Change data capture (CDC) on Amazon MSK and ingesting data using Apache Hudi on Amazon EMR can be used to build an efficient data lake solution. In this post, we'll build CDC with Amazon MSK and MSK Connect.

Change data capture (CDC) on Amazon MSK and ingesting data using Apache Hudi on Amazon EMR can be used to build an efficient data lake solution. As a starting point, we’ll discuss the source database and CDC streaming infrastructure in the local environment.

Recently AWS Glue 3.0 was released but a docker image for this version is not published. In this post, I’ll illustrate how to create a development environment for AWS Glue 3.0 (and later versions) by building a custom docker image.
