Amazon Redshift Introduces Concurrency Scaling Support for auto-copy and zero-ETL

Amazon Redshift announces the general availability of Amazon Redshift concurrency scaling support for Amazon Redshift auto-copy and zero-ETL, enhancing the performance of data ingestion. This new feature combines the power of auto-copy's seamless data ingestion from Amazon S3 and zero-ETL's near real-time data replication from operational database, transactional database, and applications with the elasticity of concurrency scaling.

The enhancement delivers benefits for high-volume, time-sensitive data operations. Auto-copy monitors S3 buckets and loads new data files automatically, while zero-ETL replicates data from operational and transactional databases in near real-time. When enabled, concurrency scaling adds compute capacity automatically to handle increased read and write queries, ensuring faster data ingestion without compromising performance during peak periods.

This new enhancement is available in all AWS commercial regions and AWS GovCloud (US) regions where Amazon Redshift is available for Amazon Redshift Serverless and RA3 Provisioned data warehouses. You can implement this feature immediately to optimize their data ingestion workflows.
