Utilities need a solution to manage devices on the field, whether they are for the management of gas, water, electricity, waste, or other. IBM has developed BEAM IoT to address these needs with a solution that, in addition to offering modules and functionalities specific to each segment, has been designed to be open and modular. It can be quickly extended to new business use cases, new regulatory requests, new types of IoT devices, and new data analysis requirements.

As serverless architectures start to grow, finding the right troubleshooting approach becomes a business-critical aspect. In this post, dive into the “instrumentation approach” and how to keep track of internal events within an AWS Lambda function, and how to export processed telemetry data. Lumigo shares a practical guide on how to use AWS Lambda Extensions and follow a storyline of extracting internal events from Lambda functions, processing them, and sending telemetry data to external services.

Open Finance initiatives have been gaining momentum across the world. These initiatives require that banks provide access to customer data through a common, open API for third-party applications, which are referred to as fintech apps. Learn how to build and deploy a basic fintech app on AWS in under an hour by using the Plaid Link API. This app allows users to sign up, log in, select their bank from a list, connect to that bank, and display the latest transactions.

Learn about a multi-regional first-line of support solution Chaos Gears put together using a serverless application running AWS Lambda under the baton of AWS Step Functions to relieve a customer’s engineers from some of their operational burdens. The approach described in this post can be adapted to serve other needs or cover different cases, as AWS Step Functions’ visual workflows allow for a quick translation of business requirements to technical ones.

AWS CloudHSM enables you to generate and use your own encryption keys on AWS. The standard service for managing keys for signing would usually be AWS KMS, but due to legacy requirements from the customer side the team at BJSS needed to support both SHA256 and SHA1. Learn how BJSS successfully signed some data with a key from AWS CloudHSM using Python, and walk through the setup of an AWS CloudHSM cluster for testing using a sample application.

AWS customers running on-premises workloads that leverage Amazon S3 previously needed to set up proxies running on Amazon EC2 to access S3 gateway endpoints. With AWS PrivateLink for Amazon S3, you can provision interface VPC endpoints (interface endpoints) in your virtual private cloud. These endpoints are directly accessible from applications that are on-premises over VPN and AWS Direct Connect, or in a different AWS region over VPC peering.

AWS Single Sign-On (AWS SSO) is where you create or connect your workforce identities in AWS once and manage access centrally across your AWS Organization. Learn about the new integration with CyberArk Workforce Identity to provide simplified access management and provisioning to AWS. With this integration, you can have a single point of truth for all enterprise identities and enforce consistent management of users, groups, permissions, and access policies while reducing redundancies and errors.

There are multiple use cases where applications running on AWS may require a Lambda function to process the file stored in Box storage before it’s sent to the next stage for further processing. This post explains how a Lambda function can be invoked on the upload of a file in a Box folder using a webhook. With the help of a Box webhook and Amazon API Gateway, users can invoke a Lambda function on file upload operation and download the file to Amazon S3.

A serverless architecture strategy reduces complexity and provides more flexibility in adopting the features and non-functional requirements needed to support market agility. In this post, walk through an example of an IoT use case and build a serverless scalable platform using Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose, Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink, and MongoDB Realm. You’ll learn how easy it is to develop mobile and desktop applications on top of the data platform for different personas.

Customer onboarding remains a challenging and time-consuming process for most banks. Both digital and traditional processes are often overly complex, resulting in lower conversion rates and higher cost of acquisition. To overcome these challenges, numerous financial institutions have started customer onboarding online. In this post, walk through the use case of one of the largest financial institutes of Europe for whom Infostretch provided a substantial breakthrough to onboard the customers digitally.
