Multi-region architectures improve latency for applications with global user bases and optimize RTO across the broadest set of potential failure events. However, creating and maintaining these architectures can add significant cost and complexity. Learn how to build and deploy a multi-region serverless application while minimizing cost and complexity using AWS Step Functions and Fauna, an AWS Partner and distributed document-relational database delivered as a cloud API.

Chaos engineering is the discipline of experimenting on a software system or service to build confidence in its capability to withstand turbulent and unexpected conditions. Its goal is to reveal weaknesses before they break. The AWS Well-Architected Review and chaos engineering go hand-in-hand, and Gremlin’s chaos engineering platform validates your service’s compliance with two pillars of the Well-Architected Framework: operational excellence and reliability.

Creating a software system is a lot like constructing a building. If the foundation is not solid, structural problems can undermine the integrity and function of the building. The AWS Well-Architected Framework helps cloud architects build the most secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient infrastructure possible for their applications. This framework provides a consistent approach to evaluate architectures, and provides guidance to implement designs that scale with your application needs over time.
