New for AWS Lambda – 1ms Billing Granularity Adds Cost Savings
What I like about AWS Lambda is that it lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers, and you pay only for what you use. Since we launched Lambda in 2014, you have been charged for the number of times your code is triggered (requests) and for the time your code executes, rounded up […]
Coming Soon – EC2 C6gn Instances – 100 Gbps Networking with AWS Graviton2 Processors
Update: Amazon EC2 C6gn instances are generally available since December 18, 2020. Based on the amazing feedback from customers such as Snap, NextRoll, Intuit, SmugMug, and Honeycomb who are running their workloads on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances powered by AWS Graviton2, today we are announcing an addition to our broad Arm-based Graviton2 […]
Introducing Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (MWAA)
As the volume and complexity of your data processing pipelines increase, you can simplify the overall process by decomposing it into a series of smaller tasks and coordinate the execution of these tasks as part of a workflow. To do so, many developers and data engineers use Apache Airflow, a platform created by the community […]
Announcing AWS Glue DataBrew – A Visual Data Preparation Tool That Helps You Clean and Normalize Data Faster
To be able to run analytics, build reports, or apply machine learning, you need to be sure the data you’re using is clean and in the right format. That’s the data preparation step that requires data analysts and data scientists to write custom code and do many manual activities. First, you need to look at […]
New – Archive and Replay Events with Amazon EventBridge
Event-driven architectures use events to share information between the components of one or more applications. Events tell us that “something has happened,” maybe you received an API request, a file has been uploaded to a storage platform, or a database record has been updated. Business events describe something related to your activities, for example that […]
New – Application Load Balancer Support for End-to-End HTTP/2 and gRPC
Thanks to its efficiency and support for numerous programming languages, gRPC is a popular choice for microservice integrations and client-server communications. gRPC is a high performance remote procedure call (RPC) framework using HTTP/2 for transport and Protocol Buffers to describe the interface. To make it easier to use gRPC with your applications, Application Load Balancer (ALB) […]
Introducing Amazon SNS FIFO – First-In-First-Out Pub/Sub Messaging
When designing a distributed software architecture, it is important to define how services exchange information. For example, the use of asynchronous communication decouples components and simplifies scaling, reducing the impact of changes and making it easier to release new features. The two most common forms of asynchronous service-to-service communication are message queues and publish/subscribe messaging: With […]
Store and Access Time Series Data at Any Scale with Amazon Timestream – Now Generally Available
Time series are a very common data format that describes how things change over time. Some of the most common sources are industrial machines and IoT devices, IT infrastructure stacks (such as hardware, software, and networking components), and applications that share their results over time. Managing time series data efficiently is not easy because the […]
