AWS Data Exchange
AWS Data Exchange lets you find, subscribe to, and use third-party data directly in the cloud. It handles the logistics of accessing external datasets, making it a practical utility for teams needing to integrate outside information into their analytics workflows without managing separate data pipelines.
This fits organizations already deep in the AWS ecosystem who need external data sources. However, there is no free tier, so you will pay as you go from day one. This pay-as-you-go model means costs scale with usage, which can add up quickly if you are just experimenting or have low-volume needs.
