Elastic MapReduce
Elastic MapReduce (EMR) is a cloud-based service that makes it easier to process large amounts of data quickly and efficiently. It uses popular open-source tools like Hadoop and Spark to analyze data sets, whether they're gigabytes or petabytes in size. EMR automatically manages the underlying infrastructure, scaling up or down based on needs, so users don’t have to worry about hardware or software setup. This allows businesses and researchers to focus on extracting insights from their data without the technical hassle of maintaining large data processing systems.
