This enhancement uses a composition-based query compilation method that allows new queries to start processing immediately while optimized code is compiled asynchronously. This removes the compilation bottleneck from query execution paths, resulting in up to sevenfold performance improvements in query startup and response times.
The feature is automatically enabled at no extra charge across all provisioned clusters and serverless workgroups, benefiting real-time analytics, BI dashboards, and AI agent queries. It is available in all supported AWS commercial regions, ensuring customers experience fast and consistent query performance without manual tuning or configuration changes.
