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 […]
Last week, my team visited Seoul to meet AWS Korea User Group (AWSKRUG) leaders. AWSKRUG is the largest cloud developer community in Korea, with 20 meetup groups organized by topic and area that collectively host over 100 events each year, primarily in Seoul. My team regularly visits countries across the Asia-Pacific region, listens to feedback […]
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 […]
AWS launches a new serverless compute primitive, AWS Lambda MicroVMs. VM-level, isolated sandboxes with no shared kernel or resources between sessions. Rapid launch and resume, full lifecycle control, state preservation up to 8 hours, no infrastructure to manage.
In this post, we show how Vonage network-powered solutions work with Amazon Cognito to enhance many mobile-first use cases with network-level identity verification. Vonage network-powered solutions are a composable stack of real-time mobile operator intelligence, silent authentication, and integrated fraud protection, which uses the CUSTOM_AUTH flow to complete identity verification in under 5 seconds, with zero user interaction.
In this post, we walk through the legacy architecture challenges, the stateless streaming solution, key implementation patterns, and performance results—a pattern you can apply if you’re building high-traffic APIs that aggregate data from multiple backend sources.
Last week, I took some time off in York, England, often described as the most haunted city in the country. I wandered through the ruins of abbeys that have stood for nearly a thousand years, walked along medieval walls, and spent an evening on a ghost tour hearing stories passed down through centuries. There’s something […]
In this post, we demonstrate how you can build a scalable, multi-tenant configuration service using the tagged storage pattern, an architectural approach that uses key prefixes (like tenant_config_ or param_config_) to automatically route configuration requests to the most appropriate AWS storage service. This pattern maintains strict tenant isolation and supports real-time, zero-downtime configuration updates through event-driven architecture, alleviating the cache…
BBC Online — A year with serverless Its been a little over a year since I published my last two blog posts, in which I outlined the process we went through to choose the technology for BBC online and the steps we took to optimise serverless for our use. Recently my colleague Graeme has published a blog post on the…
This post summarizes a talk about building a serverless architecture on AWS Lambda using the Serverless framework. It covers topics like authentication, authorization, testing, CI/CD, and cost monitoring. The presenters share lessons learned from real-world experience building a production serverless application.
