Security is fundamental for each product and service you are building with. Whether you are working on the back-end or the data and machine learning components of a system, the solution should be securely built. In 2022, we discussed security in our post Let’s Architect! Architecting for Security. Today, we take a closer look at […]

What is “resiliency”, and why does it matter? When we discussed this topic in an early 2022 edition of Let’s Architect!, we referenced the AWS Well-Architected Framework, which defines resilience as having “the capability to recover when stressed by load, accidental or intentional attacks, and failure of any part in the workload’s components.” Businesses rely […]

Medical imaging plays a critical role in patient diagnosis and treatment planning in healthcare. However, healthcare providers face several challenges when it comes to managing, storing, and analyzing medical images. The process can be time-consuming, error-prone, and costly. There’s also a radiologist shortage across regions and healthcare systems, making the demand for this specialty increases […]

Leveraging vast unstructured data poses challenges, particularly for global businesses needing cross-language data search. In Part 1 of this blog series, we built the architectural foundation for the content repository. The key component of Part 1 was the dynamic access control-based logic with a web UI to upload documents. In Part 2, we extend the […]

DevOps has revolutionized software development and operations by fostering collaboration, automation, and continuous improvement. By bringing together development and operations teams, organizations can accelerate software delivery, enhance reliability, and achieve faster time-to-market. In this blog post, we will explore the best practices and architectural considerations for implementing DevOps with Amazon Web Services (AWS), enabling you […]

Today, we are delighted to introduce the latest version of the AWS Well-Architected Machine Learning (ML) Lens whitepaper. The AWS Well-Architected Framework provides architectural best practices for designing and operating ML workloads on AWS. It is based on six pillars: Operational Excellence, Security, Reliability, Performance Efficiency, Cost Optimization, and—a new addition to this revision—Sustainability. The […]

Governance plays a crucial role in AWS environments, as it ensures compliance, security, and operational efficiency. In this Let’s Architect!, we aim to provide valuable insights and best practices on how to configure governance appropriately within a company’s AWS infrastructure. By implementing these best practices, you can establish robust controls, enhance security, and maintain compliance, […]

We brought you a Let’s Architect! blog post about open-source on AWS that covered some technologies with development led by AWS/Amazon, as well as well-known solutions available on managed AWS services. Today, we’re following the same approach to share more insights about the process itself for developing open-source. That’s why the first topic we discuss […]

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 […]
