Data Activation Use Cases

Syncing from S3

Connecting to S3

Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) is an object storage service designed for scalability, data availability, security, and performance. S3 can store any amount of and if it is stored in CSV, JSON, Parquet, ORC, TSV, and log files, Amazon Athena can be used to query it. Storing and querying data directly from S3 can be much less expensive than storing data and querying it out of a data warehouse.

Now you can use the data in S3 for more than just analytics and BI. With S3 reverse ETL you can operationalize your data across your entire customer data stack.

“My favorite tool in our martech stack!!”

Allison K
Growth Marketing Manager

I used to develop reverse ETL systems with Python and Airflow for destinations like Eloqua, Mixpanel, Braze, Intercom, and Salesforce. Every destination requires different data types, formats, rate limits, and API requests. Census saves me from maintaining my custom code, so I can spend more time to optimize the system itself.
