AWS CloudFormation is the foundational tool of infrastructure-as-code for thousands of organizations running workloads on AWS. But as teams push the boundaries of what CloudFormation can do natively, custom resources have emerged as a powerful extension mechanism that unlocks a broad range of possibilities. Yet, when it comes to building resilient, multi-Region deployments with custom […]
According to Siemens’ 2024 report The True Cost of Downtime, Fortune 500 companies lose an estimated $1.4 trillion annually because of unplanned downtime. This downtime is often worsened by a lack of skills to detect and resolve issues quickly. Generative AI offers a promising path to address this, but deploying these capabilities in industrial environments […]
Organizations in regulated industries like financial services, insurance, healthcare, and government ingest large volumes of data containing personally identifiable information (PII). Your applications, claims processing systems, partner data feeds, and internal workflows produce files that may include names, addresses, Social Security numbers, and domain-specific identifiers such as policy numbers, member IDs, and medical record numbers.

Specification-driven composition addresses a common scalability bottleneck in data pipelines. Data pipelines often start as simple scripts, but as they grow, you duplicate transformation logic and small changes cascade across multiple workflows. Copying and modifying data transformation logic across scripts leads to workflows that become difficult to manage at scale. Tracking what each pipeline does […]
