AWS helped the Washington DC Metropolitan Police Department (DC-MPD) transform its data processing system by implementing a sophisticated serverless ETL pipeline using multiple AWS services.

  • Leveraged AWS Step Functions, Lambda, Glue, and DynamoDB to process 400+ datasets
  • Implemented event-based processing with automated error handling and job tracking
  • Achieved high-performance data processing, handling 1 million records in under 90 seconds
  • Created flexible architecture that can dynamically process full and incremental data loads
  • Optimized cost by using serverless services and pay-per-use computing

The solution provides DC-MPD with a scalable, efficient, and adaptable data processing system that enhances their ability to analyze crime-related information quickly and accurately.
