How Nielsen uses serverless concepts on Amazon EKS for big data processing with Spark workloads
In this post, we follow Nielsen’s journey to build a robust and scalable architecture while enjoying linear scaling. We start by examining the initial challenges Nielsen faced and the root causes behind these issues. Then, we explore Nielsen’s solution: running Spark on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) while adopting serverless concepts.
Top Architecture Blog Posts of 2024
Well, it’s been another historic year! We’ve watched in awe as the use of real-world generative AI has changed the tech landscape, and while we at the Architecture Blog happily participated, we also made every effort to stay true to our channel’s original scope, and your readership this last year has proven that decision was […]
How to build custom nodes workflow with ComfyUI on Amazon EKS
ComfyUI is an open-source node-based workflow solution for Stable Diffusion and increasingly being used by many creators. We previously published a blog and solution about how to deploy ComfyUI on AWS. Typically, ComfyUI users use various custom nodes, which extend the capabilities of ComfyUI, to build their own workflows, often using ComfyUI-Manager to conveniently install and manage their […]

Let’s Architect! Discovering Generative AI on AWS
Generative artificial intelligence (generative AI) is a type of AI used to generate content, including conversations, images, videos, and music. Generative AI can be used directly to build customer-facing features (a chatbot or an image generator), or it can serve as an underlying component in a more complex system. For example, it can generate embeddings […]

Journey to Cloud-Native Architecture Series #7: Using Containers and Cell-based design for higher resiliency and efficiency
In our previous Journey to Cloud-Native blogposts, we talked about evolving our architecture to become more scalable, secure, and cost effective to handle hyperscale requirements. In this post, we take these next steps: 1/ containerizing our applications to improve resource efficiency, and, 2/ using cell-based design to improve resiliency and time to production. Containerize applications […]
Let’s Architect! Security in software architectures
Security is fundamental for each product and service you are building with. Whether you are working on the back-end or the data and machine learning components of a system, the solution should be securely built. In 2022, we discussed security in our post Let’s Architect! Architecting for Security. Today, we take a closer look at […]
AWS Cloud service considerations when modernizing account-per-tenant solutions
An increasing number of software as a service (SaaS) providers are modernizing their architectures to utilize resources more efficiently and reduce operational costs. There are multiple strategies that can be used when refining your multi-tenant architecture. This blog will look at a specific scenario where SaaS providers move from an account-per-tenant to an Amazon Elastic […]
