Introduction In modern distributed systems, microservices need to communicate securely with each other while maintaining strict security boundaries. Implementing secure app-to-app communication at scale requires a standardized approach for both authentication and authorization. OAuth 2.0 provides this standardization, letting services verify each other’s identity and control access to protected resources. Consider a typical e-commerce scenario […]

Introduction Log analysis helps you maintain reliable applications by identifying issues, troubleshooting problems, and gaining operational insights. Traditional log analysis struggles with unstructured data and requires hours of manual work to extract meaningful patterns. Generative AI transforms this process by automatically identifying anomalies, understanding context, and surfacing specific recommendations without complex configuration. In this post, […]

AWS Transform is an agentic service that accelerates modernization, including .NET applications.
