This post was originally published in June 2022 and is now updated with more information on efficiently architecting resilient patterns in the cloud. Architecting workloads for resilience on the cloud often need to evaluate multiple factors before they can decide the most optimal architecture for their workloads. Example Corp has multiple applications with varying criticality, […]

Leading modern application platform space OutSystems is a low-code platform that provides tools for companies to develop, deploy, and manage omnichannel enterprise applications. Security is a top priority at OutSystems. Their Security Operations Center (SOC) deals with thousands of incidents a year, each with a set of response actions that need to be executed as […]

During the design of distributed systems, we have to identify a communication strategy to exchange information between different services while keeping the evolutionary nature of the architecture in mind. Event-driven architectures are based on events (facts that happened in a system), which are asynchronously exchanged to implement communication across different services while having a high […]

Text data is a common type of unstructured data found in analytics. It is often stored without a predefined format and can be hard to obtain and process. For example, web pages contain text data that data analysts collect through web scraping and pre-process using lowercasing, stemming, and lemmatization. After pre-processing, the cleaned text is […]

Using this architecture, you can provide lightweight access to the AWS Wickr desktop client for users […]

Genomics workflows analyze data at petabyte scale. After processing is complete, data is often archived in cold storage classes. In some cases, like studies on the association of DNA variants against larger datasets, archived data is needed for further processing. This means manually initiating the restoration of each archived object and monitoring the progress. Scientists […]
