This post demonstrates how the Issuer Solutions business of Global Payments, as a service provider, implemented cross-Region failover for an AWS PrivateLink backed service exposed to their customers. Their solution enables failover to a secondary Region without customer coordination, reducing Recovery Time Objective (RTO).

In this post, we explore a unique scenario where an ISV, unable to provide a floating license option for cloud usage, worked with Stellantis to develop an alternative solution. This approach, implemented with the ISV’s permission, treats named user licenses as if they were floating, automatically assigning and removing them based on the state of user workbench instances.

In this post, we’ll explore how to maximize the value of dashcam footage through best practices for implementing and managing Computer Vision systems in commercial fleet operations. We’ll demonstrate how to build and deploy edge-based machine learning models that provide real-time alerts for distracted driving behaviors, while effectively collecting, processing, and analyzing footage to train these AI models.

In this post, you will learn how Amazon Web Services (AWS) customer, Maya, the Philippines’ leading fintech company and digital bank, built an API management platform to address the growing complexities of managing multiple APIs hosted on Amazon API Gateway.

In this blog post, we introduce a reference architecture that offers an intelligent document digitization solution that converts handwritten notes, scanned documents, and images into editable, searchable, and accessible formats. Powered by Anthropic’s Claude 3 on Amazon Bedrock, the solution uses the sophisticated vision capabilities of LLMs to process a wide range of visual formats, preserving the original formatting while extracting text, tables, and images.

Modern cloud architectures demand a new governance approach. In this post, we show how collaborative architecture oversight can transform team performance through automation, self-service platforms, and distributed decision-making.

In this post, we identify the components of an efficient architecture review process, define what an ARB is, and describe how to build and operate an effective enterprise ARB.

In this post, you’ll learn how to implement Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) in your organization, based on best practices developed from experience with over 200 ADRs across multiple projects. You’ll also discover practical tips for streamlining architectural decision-making, see real-world examples from projects with teams ranging from 10 to over 100 members, and understand the common challenges in architecture decision-making and how ADRs can help address them.

In this post, we explore an intermediate strategy between the pilot light and the warm standby strategies: pilot light with reserved capacity. You can use this strategy to reserve compute capacity in a secondary Region while also limiting cost.

In this post, we share how WellRight optimized the cost and performance of their application through a ground-up modernization to an event-driven architecture.
