Data Pipelines on Amazon Redshift — How to Orchestrate AWS Services with Kestra

The blog post explores how to orchestrate data pipelines on Amazon Redshift using Kestra, a powerful orchestration engine with a variety of plugins for seamless integration with AWS services. The author, a data engineer, illustrates a real-world example where AWS services such as DynamoDB, S3, and Redshift are used to manage and transform data about products and orders. The process involves uploading product data to DynamoDB and order data to S3, then loading this information into Redshift to join and convert it into detailed order records, which are subsequently uploaded back to S3 in CSV format. The post highlights Kestra's capability to orchestrate complex workflows and monitor executions through its user-friendly interface, emphasizing AWS's extensive cloud services and cost-effective pay-as-you-go model as key benefits for businesses of all sizes.
