FAQ

1. What does the AWS S3 file automation workflow do?

It automatically detects new or updated files in S3, processes them, and syncs the extracted data directly into your database without manual effort.

2. How are files processed and validated?

The workflow parses file contents, applies validation rules, checks schema accuracy, and ensures clean, structured data before loading it into the database.

3. Does the workflow support multiple file formats?

Yes. It supports CSV, JSON, XML, logs, and other structured or semi-structured formats stored in AWS S3.

4. Can the ingestion run in real time?

Yes. The system can run in real time using event triggers or on a scheduled basis for batch processing.

5. How does the workflow handle failed or corrupted files?

Failed files are flagged, logged, and rerouted for retry or manual review to ensure complete data integrity.

6. What are the benefits of automating S3-to-database actions?

Automation delivers faster ingestion, eliminates manual downloads, improves accuracy, and ensures consistent data availability for analytics and reporting.
