Explore how you can leverage Reserved concurrency to define a tiering strategy for multi-tenant software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications. There are many benefits when using AWS Lambda functions starting with the serverless model in SaaS that removes undifferentiated heavy lifting by simplifying the architecture and operational footprint. Reserved concurrency is an important feature of AWS Lambda which guarantees the maximum number of instances, running concurrently, for a Lambda specific function.

An influx of technology is opening up new avenues to enrich the traditional classroom experience. As part of the industry’s innovation, digital textbooks, especially for the K-12 classroom, are becoming a more prevalent component of technology-based education. Learn how JBS Solutions rebuilt one of the largest digital textbook publishing platforms using AWS Lambda to optimize performance at scale while providing flexibility along with robust functionality for both the back and front end of the platform.

Using MongoDB Atlas with AWS Elastic BeanStalk, developers can focus on driving innovation and business value instead of managing infrastructure. AWS Elastic Beanstalk makes it easier for developers to quickly deploy and manage their applications on AWS. Developers can upload their code, and Elastic Beanstalk automatically handles the deployment details of auto scaling, capacity provisioning, load balancing, and application health monitoring.

With the ever-growing need for enterprise data to migrate to the cloud, and the necessity of keeping that data secure, organizations are searching for tools that enable migration while meeting regulatory requirements for data security and privacy. To meet these needs for customers, Protegrity has introduced new solutions leveraging Amazon S3, and these Cloud Protect for S3 products enable you to secure your sensitive data in S3 with Protegrity technology such as tokenization.

Many IBM Db2 customers are exploring modernizing their databases by moving them into a containerized environment such as Red Hat OpenShift, Amazon EKS, or IBM’s Cloud Pak for Data. Getting to the end goal of containerizing your database takes a lot of time and effort. To streamline this process, IBM has developed a new utility called Db2 Click to Containerize (also known as Db2 Shift) to help customers move their databases quickly and easily from an on-premises Db2.

Organizations have a wide range of data processing use cases, collecting data from variety of sources, transforming it and loading it to different destinations to fulfill diverse business needs. Learn how DataFlow Functions, combined with the serverless compute services provided by AWS Lambda, enables developers to implement a wide spectrum of use cases using the low-code NiFi flow designer user interface, and deploy the flows as short-lived serverless functions.

The AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) is a framework that provides an automated and repeatable way of handling cloud infrastructure. Learn how to use the AWS CDK to build an AWS Lambda function in Java that connects to Neo4j. The framework described here can be used to build dynamic serverless applications where the frontend scales based on system demand. This makes it possible to easily get value from your connected graph data in front end applications.

With its event-driven nature, AWS Lambda provides seamless integration with modern-day platforms like Confluent Cloud. Explore best practices to set up network access paths for Lambda when integrating with Confluent Cloud, and review details about various resources like connectors, Kafka endpoints, and private links, as well as ways to establish connectivity between them and Lambda. Founded by the creators of Apache Kafka, Confluent enables organizations to harness business value from stream data.

Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. Amazon EKS support for IPv6 to scale containerized applications on Kubernetes goes beyond the limits of IPv4 address space. Learn how Blue Sentry Cloud solved scaling challenges using IPv6 on Amazon EKS. Blue Sentry Cloud is an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner and Managed Services Provider (MSP) that specializes in complex enterprise cloud initiatives.

Istio and Envoy have become key technologies in the modern application stack, especially for enterprises adopting Zero Trust security standards for microservices applications. Using standardized tooling from AWS and Tetrate, it’s easier than ever to fully integrate Amazon EKS and Istio into modern, declarative IaC deployment processes. Learn how to use EKS Blueprints with Tetrate’s Istio add-on to stand up fully bootstrapped clusters.
