You do not even need to use AWS. use Minio as S3 compatible system and Nifi to convert files to parquet once they land in Minio... No dependency on AWS.

Minio and nifi, require lots of resources for themselves. Better off using pure python and if one wants something lighweight and visually pleasing Mara [0] or Dagster with Dagit [1] will do the job

Yes, Minio and Nifi are not lightweight but if you look for robustness they have been used in large environments and proven to scale.
