What this project solves

Analytics marts are useful inside Amazon Redshift, but business data is not always consumed directly from the warehouse.

Reports, applications, downstream teams, and external processes may need curated datasets as files instead of direct database access. In real projects, teams often publish delivery-ready exports to Amazon S3 so the data can be shared safely and reused by other systems.

In this pipeline, you will automate Redshift analytics exports to Amazon S3. You will create export-ready datasets, write them as Parquet files into date-based S3 folders, generate business feeds, and orchestrate the delivery workflow using MWAA/Airflow.

What you’ll build

  • Export analytics datasets from Amazon Redshift
  • Create delivery-ready files on Amazon S3
  • Generate operational, clinical, and revenue export datasets
  • Create patient watchlist feeds for downstream consumers
  • Organize exports using date-based delivery folders
  • Deliver datasets in Parquet format
  • Automate exports using Airflow on MWAA

How you’ll build it

  • Start from analytics marts in Amazon Redshift
  • Write SQL export logic for business-ready datasets
  • Generate Parquet files in Amazon S3 delivery folders
  • Organize outputs by dataset and delivery date
  • Orchestrate and validate export jobs using MWAA/Airflow

Tools you’ll use

Amazon Redshift Serverless • Amazon S3 • Amazon MWAA • Apache Airflow • SQL • Apache Parquet

What you’ll walk away with

After completing this pipeline, you will be able to:

  1. Explain how analytics datasets are shared outside Redshift
  2. Export Redshift analytics marts into Amazon S3
  3. Create delivery-ready Parquet files for downstream consumers
  4. Organize exports using date-based folder structures
  5. Automate and validate export workflows using MWAA/Airflow
