Run Monte Carlo simulations at scale with AWS Step Functions and AWS Fargate
Introduction Organizations across financial services and other industries have business processes that require executing the same business logic across billions of records for their machine learning and compliance needs. Many organizations rely on internal custom orchestration systems or big data frameworks to coordinate the parallel processing of their business logic across many parallel compute nodes. […]
Securing API endpoints using Amazon API Gateway and Amazon VPC Lattice
Introduction In microservices architectures, teams often build and manage internal applications that they expose as private API endpoints and publicly expose those endpoints through a centralized API gateway where security protections are centrally managed. These API endpoints allow both internal and external users to leverage the functionality of those applications. The separation of concerns between […]
Optimize webSocket applications scaling with API Gateway on Amazon EKS
Introduction WebSocket is a common communication protocol used in web applications to facilitate real-time bi-directional data exchange between client and server. However, when the server has to maintain a direct connection with the client, it can limit the server’s ability to scale down when there are long-running clients. This scale down can occur when nodes […]
Enable continuous deployment based on semantic versioning using AWS App Runner
Introduction In this modern cloud era, customers automatically build, test, and deploy the new version of their application multiple times a day. This common scenario in the software development life cycle creates faster delivery of features, bug fixes, and other updates to end users. One key aspect of continuous deployment is semantic versioning, a system […]
Introducing AWS Gateway API controller for Amazon VPC Lattice, an implementation of Kubernetes Gateway API
Introduction Today, AWS announces the general availability of Amazon VPC Lattice a new feature of Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) that gives you a consistent way to connect, secure, and monitor communication between your services. As part of the launch of Amazon VPC Lattice, we’re excited to introduce the AWS Gateway API controller, an […]
Run event-driven workflows with Amazon EKS and AWS Step Functions
Introduction Event-driven computing is a common pattern in modern application development with microservices, which is a great fit for building resilient and scalable software in AWS. Event-driven computing needs to be push-based with event-driven applications that are run on-demand when an event triggers the functional workflow. Tools that help you minimize resource usage and reduce […]
Create a pipeline with canary deployments for Amazon ECS using AWS App Mesh
In this post, we demonstrate how customers can implement a canary deployment strategy for applications running on Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) in conjunction with AWS App Mesh. If you are looking to do canary deployments with AWS CodeDeploy using ALB’s weighted target groups, please refer to this post. By making use of container […]
Integrate Amazon API Gateway with Amazon EKS
Since 2015, customers have been using Amazon API Gateway to provide scalable and secure entry points for their API services. As customers adopt Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) to orchestrate their services, they have asked us how they can use API Gateway to expose their microservices running in Kubernetes. This post shows you how […]
Introducing AWS Step Functions integration with Amazon EKS
This is my first post on AWS Container Blog since I joined AWS and I could not be more excited to talk about two technologies now working together: Serverless and Kubernetes, or more specifically AWS Step Functions and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service. In my previous role, I envisioned to build a web application that would […]
Create a pipeline with canary deployments for Amazon EKS with AWS App Mesh
In this post, we will demonstrate how customers can leverage different AWS services in conjunction with AWS App Mesh to implement a canary deployment strategy for applications running on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). As stated in the post “Getting started with App Mesh and EKS”, many customers are currently implementing microservices in a […]
