Yelp has shared its blueprint for managing Amazon S3 server-access logs (SAL) at massive scale, addressing challenges such as high log volume, storage costs, and query performance. The core solution involves converting terabytes of daily plaintext logs into compact, Parquet-formatted archives. This process, termed "compaction," merges raw log objects into fewer, larger Parquet files, leading to an 85% storage reduction and a 99.99% decrease in object count. This transformation enables efficient and cost-effective analytics using tools like Amazon Athena for use cases such as permissions debugging, cost attribution, incident investigation, and data retention analysis. The architecture leverages AWS Glue Data Catalog, Lambda functions, and scheduled batch jobs, with idempotent inserts to handle delayed or duplicate logs. The article also highlights similar approaches by other companies and AWS, demonstrating the broader applicability of Yelp's design patterns for scalable log analytics and real-time security monitoring.
