Are S3 Table Buckets finally ready for prime time?

When AWS introduced S3 Tables at re:Invent, they promised a more warehouse-like experience for data lakes: row-level updates, automatic optimization, and better performance without the small-file penalty.

In his latest post, Keith Gregory revisits S3 Tables a year later and puts them head-to-head with Redshift in real-world performance tests.

He breaks down:
• Where S3 Tables now feel like a traditional data warehouse
• How Athena performance compares to Redshift across multiple query patterns
• The surprising performance of plain Parquet
• The operational tradeoffs around permissions, catalogs, orchestration, and tooling
• Why S3 Tables still need maturation before they clearly beat Redshift

This is not a theoretical overview. Keith walks through actual datasets, query timings, storage comparisons, and practical integration details across Athena, Glue, and Redshift Serverless.

If you are designing or rethinking your AWS data platform, this is a must-read.

Generative AI is already entering hospitals and clinics. But what does it take to implement it responsibly, at scale, and in real clinical environments?

Join us on March 10 in Center City Philadelphia for a live panel discussion on GenAI in Healthcare. We’ll explore what’s actually working, what’s not, and what healthcare leaders need to know to navigate implementation, governance, and real-world impact.

This session is designed for business technologists, healthcare IT leaders, and innovation strategists looking to move beyond the hype and get practical.

Panelists will discuss real-world use cases, compliance and security concerns, accuracy thresholds, vendor relationships, and how GenAI is shaping clinician and patient experiences.

Date: March 10 from 5:30 to 7:30 PM
Location: Mindspace Center City, Philadelphia
Format: Registration and networking followed by a 35-minute panel and audience Q&A
Cost: Free with registration

Is it too late to talk about the Year of the Horse? We don’t think so. We are partial to horses.

In the Chinese zodiac, the Year of the Horse represents rapid change, forward momentum, independence, and bold decisions. It is a time that rewards action and adaptability.

That symbolism feels especially relevant in technology.

We are living in a moment defined by rapid shifts. AI is reshaping workflows. Cloud platforms continue to evolve. New tools appear almost weekly. The pace can feel overwhelming, but it can also be energizing.

At Chariot, we believe momentum is not about chasing every new trend. It is about moving forward intentionally. Taking smart risks. Making deliberate decisions. Building systems that are flexible enough to adapt to what comes next.

Rapid change is inevitable. How we respond to it is what defines us.

What bold move is your organization considering this year?

When Spring arrived, it changed everything.

Sujan Kapadia, Chief AI Officer, reflects on how the open-source Spring framework unlocked a new era of developer freedom—one where engineers could write portable, lightweight, developer-friendly apps without being locked into rigid enterprise platforms.

It was a pivotal moment: productivity soared, innovation accelerated, and for many, it was the first taste of what it meant to truly build on your own terms.

At Chariot, we continue to embrace that spirit of freedom and innovation, now through AI tools that empower developers to move faster and prototype smarter.

Every web framework seems great… until the next shiny thing comes along.

In this clip, Chariot CTO Aaron Mulder hits on a familiar truth for developers: trends move fast, but real software has to last.

So how do you choose a stack that won’t disappear with the next hype cycle? How do you balance personal preference, internal standards, and client requirements—especially when the "hot new thing" might not be well supported a year from now?

Spring has lasted, but it’s not the same Spring it was 10 years ago. And yes, you can still run Rails or Struts but should you?

At Chariot, we help teams sort through noise and pick tools that stand the test of time. Because cool doesn’t always mean durable—and longevity still matters.

Tell us: What’s one framework you trusted that didn’t hold up?

“What’s keeping me up at night?”
For Sujan Kapadia, Chief AI Officer, it’s not the rise of AI in software development but the increasing need for guardrails.

If code generated by AI isn’t reviewed or covered by tests, the risks can snowball. Fast.

As velocity increases, so does the need for verification. Your coding agent can assist you in code review, generating test specifications, unit /integration tests, and executing and interpreting code coverage results. It can even automatically add pre-commit hooks and incorporate tests into your CI/CD process (e.g. Github Actions).

Framework fatigue is real. So how do you pick a stack that will still make sense in six months—or six years?

Chariot CTO Aaron Mulder reflects on a pattern every developer knows too well:
“Every web framework seems cool and wonderful... until six months later when something shinier comes along.”

From Ruby on Rails to Struts to Spring, it’s not that older frameworks stop working—they just stop trending. But for enterprise teams with long-lived systems and real users, trend cycles don’t pay the bills.

At Chariot, we help clients balance what’s new with what’s proven. That means choosing tools that serve the problem, not the hype cycle. It also means building in a way that keeps your systems adaptable as the landscape evolves.

Let us know: What frameworks are you betting on right now and why?

When everyone becomes an innovation center, the pace of R&D changes fast.

Sujan Kapadia, Chief AI Officer, shares how AI is lowering the barrier to experimentation, giving developers and teams the power to speed-run prototypes, try new ideas, and run research spikes in real-time without slowing down delivery.

This clip is from our panel discussion, What Does It Mean to Be a Developer in the Age of AI Agents? a conversation on how AI tools are reshaping workflows, reducing the cost of failure, and unlocking next-level product velocity.

LLMs are great at quick wins, but what about full applications?

In this clip, Chariot CTO Aaron Mulder shares a challenge we see often: AI tools can generate a single screen or component with ease, but when asked to handle a multi-screen app or full system context, they struggle.

As Aaron explains, it's not just about training powerful models. The ability to locally use large amounts of context is the key to scaling AI assistants for building complex systems.

At Chariot, we help teams figure out what's possible today, what needs more time, and how to design systems that grow with the technology.

Watch the clip and let us know, do you agree with Aaron’s take?

2025 pushed a lot of teams past experimentation—and into real decisions.

This year at Chariot Solutions, we wrote about what we were seeing in real time:
• AI moving from novelty to infrastructure
• Developers designing systems, not just writing code
• Modernization becoming a prerequisite, not a roadmap item
• Leadership and collaboration mattering as much as tools

From AI agents and conversational interfaces to cloud platforms, data pipelines, and healthtech collaboration, our 2025 blog posts reflect the questions our clients and partners are asking right now.

We pulled it all together in one place: https://ow.ly/5tix50XQt7m

As we head into 2026, the shift is clear: experimentation is giving way to ex*****on and intentionality matters more than ever.
