AWS multi-account architecture diagram showing hierarchical organization with Root, Audit, Monitoring, Deployment, and Tenant accounts containing various AWS services

6,000 AWS accounts, three people, one platform: Lessons learned

This post describes why ProGlove chose a account-per-tenant approach for our serverless SaaS architecture and how it changes the operational model. It covers the challenges you need to anticipate around automation, observability and cost. We will also discuss how the approach can affect other operational models in different environments like an enterprise context.

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.

High-level architecture of Client-side Evaluation for Amazon CloudWatch Evidently

Introducing Client-side Evaluation for Amazon CloudWatch Evidently

Amazon CloudWatch Evidently enables developers to test new features on a small percentage of traffic and gauge the outcome before rolling it out to the rest of their users. Evidently feature flags are defined ahead of your release and, at runtime, your application code queries a remote service to determine whether to show the new […]

Let’s Architect! Architecting in health tech

Healthcare technology, commonly referred to as “health tech,” is the use of technologies developed for the purpose of improving any and all aspects of the healthcare system. For example, IT tools or software designed to boost hospital/administrative productivity, give insights into new and existing treatments, or improve the overall quality of care. Also known as […]

Dimensions for operational visibility

A multi-dimensional approach helps you proactively prepare for failures, Part 3: Operations and process resiliency

In Part 1 and Part 2 of this series, we discussed how to build application layer and infrastructure layer resiliency. In Part 3, we explore how to develop resilient applications, and the need to test and break our operational processes and run books. Processes are needed to capture baseline metrics and boundary conditions. Detecting deviations […]

High-level architecture pattern for automating resilience assessments

Continually assessing application resilience with AWS Resilience Hub and AWS CodePipeline

As customers commit to a DevOps mindset and embrace a nearly continuous integration/continuous delivery model to implement change with a higher velocity, assessing every change impact on an application resilience is key. This blog shows an architecture pattern for automating resiliency assessments as part of your CI/CD pipeline. Automatically running a resiliency assessment within CI/CD […]

Building an application with multi-Region services

Creating a Multi-Region Application with AWS Services – Part 3, Application Management and Monitoring

In Part 1 of this series, we built a foundation for your multi-Region application using AWS compute, networking, and security services. In Part 2, we integrated AWS data and replication services to move and sync data between AWS Regions. In Part 3, we cover AWS services and features used for messaging, deployment, monitoring, and management. […]
