Automate safety monitoring with computer vision and generative AI
This post describes a solution that uses fixed camera networks to monitor operational environments in near real-time, detecting potential safety hazards while capturing object floor projections and their relationships to floor markings. While we illustrate the approach through distribution center deployment examples, the underlying architecture applies broadly across industries. We explore the architectural decisions, strategies for scaling to hundreds of sites, reducing site onboarding time, synthetic data generation using generative AI tools like GLIGEN, and other critical technical hurdles we overcame.
AI-powered event response for Amazon EKS
In this post, you’ll learn how AWS DevOps Agent integrates with your existing observability stack to provide intelligent, automated responses to system events.
How Convera built fine-grained API authorization with Amazon Verified Permissions
In this post, we share how Convera used Amazon Verified Permissions to build a fine-grained authorization model for their API platform.
Mastering millisecond latency and millions of events: The event-driven architecture behind the Amazon Key Suite
In this post, we explore how the Amazon Key team used Amazon EventBridge to modernize their architecture, transforming a tightly coupled monolithic system into a resilient, event-driven solution. We explore the technical challenges we faced, our implementation approach, and the architectural patterns that helped us achieve improved reliability and scalability. The post covers our solutions for managing event schemas at scale, handling multiple service integrations efficiently, and building an extensible architecture that accommodates future growth.
Secure Amazon Elastic VMware Service (Amazon EVS) with AWS Network Firewall
In this post, we demonstrate how to utilize AWS Network Firewall to secure an Amazon EVS environment, using a centralized inspection architecture across an EVS cluster, VPCs, on-premises data centers and the internet. We walk through the implementation steps to deploy this architecture using AWS Network Firewall and AWS Transit Gateway.
Build resilient generative AI agents
Generative AI agents in production environments demand resilience strategies that go beyond traditional software patterns. AI agents make autonomous decisions, consume substantial computational resources, and interact with external systems in unpredictable ways. These characteristics create failure modes that conventional resilience approaches might not address. This post presents a framework for AI agent resilience risk analysis […]
A scalable, elastic database and search solution for 1B+ vectors built on LanceDB and Amazon S3
In this post, we explore how Metagenomi built a scalable database and search solution for over 1 billion protein vectors using LanceDB and Amazon S3. The solution enables rapid enzyme discovery by transforming proteins into vector embeddings and implementing a serverless architecture that combines AWS Lambda, AWS Step Functions, and Amazon S3 for efficient nearest neighbor searches.
Simplify multi-tenant encryption with a cost-conscious AWS KMS key strategy
In this post, we explore an efficient approach to managing encryption keys in a multi-tenant SaaS environment through centralization, addressing challenges like key proliferation, rising costs, and operational complexity across multiple AWS accounts and services. We demonstrate how implementing a centralized key management strategy using a single AWS KMS key per tenant can maintain security and compliance while reducing operational overhead as organizations scale.
How Karrot built a feature platform on AWS, Part 1: Motivation and feature serving
This two-part series shows how Karrot developed a new feature platform, which consists of three main components: feature serving, a stream ingestion pipeline, and a batch ingestion pipeline. This post starts by presenting our motivation, our requirements, and the solution architecture, focusing on feature serving.
How Karrot built a feature platform on AWS, Part 2: Feature ingestion
This two-part series shows how Karrot developed a new feature platform, which consists of three main components: feature serving, a stream ingestion pipeline, and a batch ingestion pipeline. This post covers the process of collecting features in real-time and batch ingestion into an online store, and the technical approaches for stable operation.
