Amazon Redshift announced general availability of concurrency scaling support for its auto-copy and zero-ETL capabilities. Auto-copy automates ingestion of new data files from Amazon S3, while zero-ETL enables near real-time replication from operational and transactional databases. Adding concurrency scaling allows dynamic allocation of additional compute resources to handle spikes in read/write queries without performance degradation.
This enhancement benefits use cases with high volume and time-sensitive data, ensuring rapid ingestion and query response during peak demand. It is available worldwide across AWS commercial and GovCloud regions for both Serverless and provisioned RA3 clusters, helping organizations optimize their data ingestion pipelines and improve analytics responsiveness.
