This post presents a cost-effective, serverless multi-tenant SaaS architecture utilizing AWS managed services. Users can belong to multiple tenants via Amazon Cognito user groups, and the solution enables seamless tenant switching and allows tenants to define custom roles with Amazon DynamoDB transactions. By leveraging AWS services, the architecture provides security, isolation, custom permissions, and flexibility to scale without operational overhead.

When designing IT solutions, a one-size-fits-all approach misses opportunities for performance and cost savings. Exxeta proposes a use-case driven architecture approach that fits IT components to specific business processes. A real-world example shows how this approach helped an automotive company build a high-performance, scalable analytics solution at a lower cost by utilizing fit-for-purpose technologies like Apache HBase and Amazon S3.

As data volumes grow, visibility into key metrics becomes crucial for optimizing reliability, performance, and cost. Pariveda’s observability solution leverages AWS services to build operational dashboards displaying AWS Glue job details like runtimes, status, and computational load. By unlocking deeper insights, users can pinpoint optimization opportunities, troubleshoot issues faster, and drive greater efficiency across their data pipelines as workloads scale.

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.

While healthcare organizations understand the importance of patient data, there’s no efficient framework for secure sharing. Many retain data rather than risk exposure, resulting in siloed, inaccessible information. Oncoshot built a federated AWS platform on AWS that enables secure data exchange, connects experts with real-time patient insights to accelerate trial enrollment, and expedites potentially life-saving therapies without exposing patient data.

Many organizations want to migrate from legacy BI tools to Amazon QuickSight, but manual migration cab be costly. Wavicle’s QuickSight Migration Solution (QMS) automates and optimizes this process, analyzing existing dashboards, identifying duplication, automating conversion, and facilitating a seamless rollout. This reduces migration effort, costs, and risks so organizations can rapidly realize QuickSight’s self-service analytics, flexibility, and cost savings.

A content delivery network (CDN) caches content closer to users and reduces load times. Monitoring CDN performance is crucial for optimizing user experience, and this post demonstrates building an Amazon QuickSight dashboard with generative AI capabilities to gain insights from Fastly CDN logs in Amazon S3. It covers configuring real-time log streaming, using AWS Glue to catalog data, accelerating dashboard creation using natural language, and creating rich data stories for stakeholders.

Designing an ecommerce data analytics service poses challenges like data integration, quality, scalability, real-time processing, security/privacy, and visualization. Thoughtworks leverages AWS services to build data products that acquire, clean, transform, model, and visualize ecommerce data for analytics. Its systematic approach identifies sources, acquires data, cleans/stores it, models products, deploys with CI/CD, and visualizes insights in dashboards.

Traditional mainframe applications create data integration challenges when modernizing on the cloud. VirtualZ’s Lozen allows secure, real-time access to mainframe data from AWS without replication. This simplifies application migration while retaining the mainframe system of record. Lozen utilizes efficient data transformation and optimized protocols to improve performance, and is zIIP-eligible for additional cost savings.

Enterprise cloud adoption enables scalability but can introduce security and compliance challenges from decentralized builders and disparate growth. Accenture’s Secure Cloud Foundation on AWS provides a well-defined, automated account provisioning process with guardrails to enable secure and streamlined self-service innovation across teams. It establishes robust cloud foundations to automate security and break organizational barriers for accountability and outcomes.
