Field Notes: How to Boost Your Search Results Using Relevance Tuning with Amazon Kendra
One challenge enterprises face when they implement an intelligent search solution for their large data sources, is the ability to quickly provide relevant search results. When working with large data sources, not all features or attributes within your data will be equally relevant to all your users. We want to prioritize identifying and boosting specific […]
Field Notes: Deploy and Visualize ROS Bag Data on AWS using rviz and Webviz for Autonomous Driving
In the automotive industry, ROS bag files are frequently used to capture drive data from test vehicles configured with cameras, LIDAR, GPS, and other input devices. The data for each device is stored as a topic in the ROS bag file. Developers and engineers need to visualize and inspect the contents of ROS bag files to identify […]
Field Notes: How to Scale OpenTravel Messaging Architecture with Amazon Kinesis Data Streams
The travel industry relies on OpenTravel messaging systems to collect and distribute travel data—like hotel inventory and pricing—to many independent ecommerce travel sites. These travel sites need immediate access to the most current hotel inventory and pricing data. This allows shoppers access to the available rooms at the right prices. Each time a room is […]
Field Notes: How to Back Up a Database with KMS Encryption Using AWS Backup
An AWS security best practice from The 5 Pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework is to ensure that data is protected both in transit and at rest. One option is to use SSL/TLS to encrypt data in transit, and use cryptographic keys to encrypt data at rest. To meet your organization’s disaster recovery goals, periodic snapshots of […]
Field Notes: Three Steps to Port Your Containerized Application to AWS Lambda
AWS Lambda support for container images allows porting containerized web applications to run in a serverless environment. This gives you automatic scaling, built-in high availability, and a pay-for-value billing model so you don’t pay for over-provisioned resources. If you are currently using containers, container image support for AWS Lambda means you can use these benefits […]
