Overview of this book

Many IT leaders and professionals are adept at extracting data from a particular type of database and deriving value from it. However, designing and implementing an enterprise-wide holistic data platform with purpose-built data services, all seamlessly working in tandem with the least amount of manual intervention, still poses a challenge. This book will help you explore end-to-end solutions to common data, analytics, and AI/ML use cases by leveraging AWS services. The chapters systematically take you through all the building blocks of a modern data platform, including data lakes, data warehouses, data ingestion patterns, data consumption patterns, data governance, and AI/ML patterns. Using real-world use cases, each chapter highlights the features and functionalities of numerous AWS services to enable you to create a scalable, flexible, performant, and cost-effective modern data platform. By the end of this book, you’ll be equipped with all the necessary architectural patterns and be able to apply this knowledge to efficiently build a modern data platform for your organization using AWS services.

Generative AI

Generative AI (GenAI) suddenly got a lot of attention after Chat-GPT was made available to the public. It was mesmerizing to see it generate human-like outputs across various domains without explicitly providing detailed instructions to the system. GenAI creates new content and ideas such as images, text, videos, music, stories, and so forth, all of which are powered by large models that are pre-trained on vast amounts of data. These pre-trained models are called foundational models (FMs).

GenAI’s capabilities and possibilities have excited businesses too in terms of how they can use this technology to help their customers and make their experiences even better.

Some of the use cases that GeAI can solve are as follows:

  • Text: Content writing, chat, taking notes, and sales and support
  • Code: Code generation and documentation, text to SQL
  • Image and video: Image/video generation, media and ads, social media, and design
  • Speech: Voice synthesis...
