How Wesfarmers Health implemented upstream event buffering using Amazon SQS FIFO
Customers of all sizes and industries use Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications to host their workloads. Most SaaS solutions take care of maintenance and upgrades of the application for you, and get you up and running in a relatively short timeframe. Why spend time, money, and your precious resources to build and maintain applications when this could […]
Tenant portability: Move tenants across tiers in a SaaS application
In today’s fast-paced software as a service (SaaS) landscape, tenant portability is a critical capability for SaaS providers seeking to stay competitive. By enabling seamless movement between tiers, tenant portability allows businesses to adapt to changing needs. However, manual orchestration of portability requests can be a significant bottleneck, hindering scalability and requiring substantial resources. As […]

Let’s Architect! Designing microservices architectures
In 2022, we published Let’s Architect! Architecting microservices with containers. We covered integrations patterns and some approaches for implementing microservices using containers. In this Let’s Architect! post, we want to drill down into microservices only, by focusing on the main challenges that software architects and engineers face while working on large distributed systems structured as […]
Let’s Architect! Designing serverless solutions
During his re:Invent 2022 keynote, Werner Vogels, AWS Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, emphasized the asynchronous nature of our world and the challenges associated with incorporating asynchronicity into our architectures. AWS serverless services can help users concentrate on the asynchronous aspects of their workloads, easing the execution of event-driven architectures and enabling the adoption […]
Let’s Architect! Getting started with containers
Most of AWS customers building cloud-native applications or modernizing applications choose containers to run their microservices applications to accelerate innovation and time to market while lowering their total cost of ownership (TCO). Using containers in AWS comes with other benefits, such as increased portability, scalability, and flexibility. The combination of containers technologies and AWS services […]
Let’s Architect! Architecture tools
