FAQ

How can we help you?

Is S3 bucket a data lake?

Amazon S3 is the largest and most highly performant object storage service to store structured and unstructured data. As a result, it is the most preferred storage service to build a data lake.

Is S3 bucket a database?

AWS S3 is a key-value store, one of the major categories of NoSQL databases. It is used for accumulating voluminous, mutating, unstructured, or semistructured data. Objects uploaded into S3 are referenced by a unique key, which can be any string. Due to this high-level and generic storage structure, S3 offers users near-infinite flexibility.

Before RudderStack, instrumentation of the new ‘destinations’ for the marketing website required either Google Tag Manager or actual code deployments, thus, doubling our efforts. Now, we can just add the destinations in RudderStack and skip all the manual deployments.

Our previous vendor’s model kept our data in their playing field, and the pricing limited what we could to track. We wanted to own our data in our warehouse and RudderStack simplified our customer data pipeline setup and security.
