Integrating Amazon EventBridge into your serverless applications
Event-driven architecture enables developers to create decoupled services across applications. When combined with the range of managed services available in AWS, this approach can make applications highly scalable and flexible, with minimal maintenance. Many services in the AWS Cloud produce events, including integrated software as a service (SaaS) applications. Your custom applications can also produce […]

This post is courtesy of Rajdeep Tarat, Solutions Architect and Venugopal Pai, Solutions Architect Customers across industry verticals collect, analyze, and derive insights from end-user application analytics using solutions such as Google […]
Reducing custom code by using advanced rules in Amazon EventBridge
Amazon EventBridge allows you to route events between AWS services, integrated software as a service (SaaS) applications, and your own applications. Event producers publish events onto an event bus, which uses rules to determine where to send those events. The rules can specify one or more targets, which can be other AWS services or Lambda […]
Fact-checking GigaOm’s Microsoft-sponsored benchmark claims
SQL Server on AWS delivers 40% price/performance advantage over Azure In this blog, we will review a recent benchmark that Microsoft sponsored and GigaOm published on 12/2/2019. This benchmark is not credible because Microsoft and GigaOm use configurations of AWS that generate weaker performance, they have not been transparent on how it was run, and […]

Using artificial intelligence to detect product defects with AWS Step Functions
Factories that produce a high volume of inventory must ensure that defective products are not shipped. This is often accomplished with human workers on the assembly line or through computer vision. You can build an application that uses a custom image classification model to detect and report back any defects in a product, then takes […]
Orchestrating a security incident response with AWS Step Functions
In this post I will show how to implement the callback pattern of an AWS Step Functions Standard Workflow. This is used to add a manual approval step into an automated security incident response framework. The framework could be extended to remediate automatically, according to the individual policy actions defined. For example, applying alternative actions, or […]
Building an AWS IoT Core device using AWS Serverless and an ESP32
Using a simple Arduino sketch, an AWS Serverless Application Repository application, and a microcontroller, you can build a basic serverless workflow for communicating with an AWS IoT Core device. A microcontroller is a programmable chip and acts as the brain of an electronic device. It has input and output pins for reading and writing on […]
