Modernization of real-time payment orchestration on AWS

The global real-time payments market is experiencing significant growth. According to Fortune Business Insights, the market was valued at USD 24.91 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to USD 284.49 billion by 2032, with a CAGR of 35.4%. Similarly, Grand View Research reports that the global mobile payment market, valued at USD 88.50 […]

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 […]

AWS architecture showing protein vector processing workflow with ECR, Lambda, and LanceDB

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.

How CommBank made their CommSec trading platform highly available and operationally resilient

In this post, we explore how CommSec, Australia’s leading online broker, transitioned from a multicloud environment to AWS as their sole cloud provider while implementing Amazon Application Recovery Controller (ARC) zonal shift to maintain high availability and operational resilience. The consolidation resulted in significant benefits including 25% base capacity reduction, two times faster deployments, and improved failover capabilities through ARC zonal shift, enabling CommSec to continue serving millions of customers while meeting strict regulatory requirements.

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.
