With increasing cloud innovation, distributed teams need visibility into their deployed cloud resources, dependencies, and budgets when architecting new applications or reconfiguring existing solutions. Cloudcraft by Datadog helps companies achieve this cross-team alignment and enables teams to visualize and document architectures, analyze costs, run compliance audits through shareable diagrams, and automate diagram updates as infrastructure evolves.

In the transportation and logistics industry, navigating large vehicles comes with challenges like bridge heights, travel restrictions, and compliance. A previous AWS blog explored efficient truck routing using Amazon Location Service and HERE Technologies. This new post explores the HERE Explore Truck map styles to help visualize routes in real-time. By combining this style with Amazon Location Service, companies can leverage safe, efficient, and compliant routing for improved fleet operations.

The logistics industry lacks transparency due to fragmentation and complex supply chains. Bosch L.OS offers a cloud platform integrating services like transportation and fleet management systems. Learn how Bosch collaborated with AWS and Storm Reply to develop an SDK for seamlessly integrating truck parking booking services from providers. The reusable SDK simplifies integration for logistics companies, reducing development effort.

Salesforce and AWS provide integrations that extend platform capabilities to help organizations solve unique business problems. Customers leverage Salesforce for modern user workflows and AWS for backend services, system integration, and data analytics. Integrations link the platforms through automation and tightly coupled services to meet security and performance needs, often using asynchronous event flows.

Noventiq developed uDMS, a smart document management system hosted on AWS serverless architecture that removes the need to manage servers while ensuring scalability, cost-efficiency, and global accessibility. uDMS offers easy document tracking, metadata templating, workflow notifications, version control, and integrates well with other systems. It demonstrates how a serverless architecture can enable rapid deployment and modernization of legacy document management systems.

For applications running outside AWS, developers often create IAM users with long-lived credentials which can increase security risks. Instead, learn how to integrate AWS IAM Web Identity Roles with Microsoft Entra ID for centralized user management. This post walks through manual setup steps to register an app in Entra ID and create a role in AWS, and describes an automated architecture to synchronize Entra ID service principals and AWS roles.

Amazon API Gateway is a solution for orchestrating the resources for creating, deploying, and managing APIs at scale. Learn how SmartBear’s SwaggerHub provides a single source of truth for API documentation, and helps teams achieve consistency in their documentation and implementation patterns across a portfolio of APIs. In this post, we show how SwaggerHub pairs with Amazon API Gateway to provide customers with a holistic API solution.

Managing an Apache Kafka deployment can be complex and resource intensive, often requiring additional support. Integrating Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) and CockroachDB in your Kafka deployment enables a plethora of use cases, including real-time analytics, event-driven microservices such as inventory management, and the ability to archive data for audit logging. This post offers a step-by-step guide to integrate Amazon MSK within the CockroachDB platform.

Infor OS provides deep integration capabilities and includes Intelligent Open Network (ION), which is an interoperability and business process management platform designed to integrate applications, processes, people, and data to run your business. Infor ION enables you to easily integrate your Infor and non-Infor enterprise systems, whether they’re on-premises, in the cloud, or both. In this post, we discuss general scenarios and integration patterns while using ION.

The security pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework describes how to take advantage of cloud technologies to protect data, systems, and assets in a way that improves security posture. The security pillar doesn’t just apply to AWS regions and Availability Zones but also to hybrid cloud solutions on premises. In this post, we’ll focus on security using AWS Snowball Edge and how Palo Alto Network’s VM-Series firewall is deployed and configured to secure access to a 5G core application providing cellular 5G connectivity.
