High availability is non-negotiable for organizations today to prevent business-critical application disruptions. Enterprises must prioritize database scalability and availability to avoid downtime in their databases, network, servers, or storage environments. For organizations that want to avoid required application changes, Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) is an option for providing high availability and scalability to the […]

In highly distributed systems, it is crucial to ensure that applications function correctly even during infrastructure failures. One common infrastructure failure scenario is when an entire Availability Zone (AZ) becomes unavailable. Applications are often deployed across multiple AZs to ensure high availability and fault tolerance in cloud environments such as Amazon Web Services (AWS). Kubernetes […]

Understanding architectural patterns for multi-tenancy has become crucial for architects and developers aiming to deliver scalable, secure, and cost-effective solutions. Isolating tenant data is a fundamental responsibility for Software as a Service (SaaS) providers. In this edition of Let’s Architect!, we talk about comprehensive exploration of multi-tenant architectures, covering various aspects, such as SaaS microservices, […]

If your decentralized application (dApp) must interact directly with AWS services like Amazon S3 or Amazon API Gateway, you must authorize your users by granting them temporary AWS credentials. This solution uses Amazon Cognito in combination with your users’ digital wallet to obtain valid Amazon Cognito identities and temporary AWS credentials for your users. It […]

Customers choose AWS for running their Oracle database workload to help increase resiliency, performance, and scalability of the database layer. A high availability (HA) solution for the database stack is an important aspect to consider when migrating or deploying Oracle databases in AWS to help ensure that the architecture can meet the service level agreement […]

During his re:Invent 2022 keynote, Werner Vogels, AWS Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, emphasized the asynchronous nature of our world and the challenges associated with incorporating asynchronicity into our architectures. AWS serverless services can help users concentrate on the asynchronous aspects of their workloads, easing the execution of event-driven architectures and enabling the adoption […]

Most of AWS customers building cloud-native applications or modernizing applications choose containers to run their microservices applications to accelerate innovation and time to market while lowering their total cost of ownership (TCO). Using containers in AWS comes with other benefits, such as increased portability, scalability, and flexibility. The combination of containers technologies and AWS services […]

The fleet management market is expected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 15.5 percent—from 25.5 billion US dollars in 2022 to USD 52.4 billion in 2027. Optimizing how your organization uses its vehicle fleet is important for logistics and service providers such as last mile, middle mile, and field services. In […]

Launching and running genomics workflows can take hours and involves large pools of compute instances that process data at a petabyte scale. Benchmarking helps you evaluate workflow performance and discover faster and cheaper ways of running them. In practice, performance evaluations happen irregularly because of the associated heavy lifting. In this blog post, we discuss […]

Customers are adopting microservices architecture to build innovative and scalable applications on Amazon Web Services (AWS). These microservices applications are deployed across multiple AWS services, and customers are looking for comprehensive observability solutions that can help them effectively monitor and manage the performance of their applications in real-time. IBM Instana is a fully automated application […]
