Amazon S3 Parquet connector details

The Amazon S3 Parquet materialization connector writes delta updates from Estuary collections to an Amazon S3 bucket in Apache Parquet format, providing efficient, columnar storage optimized for analytics and downstream data lake use cases.

  • Data format: Outputs batched delta updates as Parquet files for compact, query-ready storage
  • Upload scheduling: Configure upload intervals and file size limits to control data batching frequency
  • Flexible authentication: Supports both AWS Access Keys and IAM roles for secure access
  • Schema-aware typing: Automatically maps Estuary collection field types to equivalent Parquet data types
  • File versioning: Organizes files by path and version counters for easy traceability and reprocessing
  • Scalable and compatible: Works with AWS S3 and S3-compatible APIs, such as MinIO or Wasabi

💡 Tip: Use this connector to build cost-efficient, analytics-ready data lakes by streaming Estuary data to S3 in Parquet format, ready for querying in Athena, Snowflake, or Databricks.
