Large-scale, distributed compute framework migrations are not for the faint of heart. There are backwards-compatibility constraints to maintain, performance expectations to meet, scalability limits to overcome, and the omnipresent risk of introducing breaking changes to production. This all becomes especially troubling if you happen to be migrating away from something that successfully processes exabytes of […]

Improve usability and get relief from managing open source FFmpeg on AWS with our open source solution to deploy FFmpeg packaged in a container and managed by AWS Batch.

FFmpeg users can leverage a cost efficient Amazon Web Services (AWS) instance for their video on demand (VOD) encoding workloads now that AWS offers VT1 support on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2). 

Graviton2 and Graviton3 processors are cost efficient and fast for running video transcoding. With the latest improvements to the open source FFmpeg and codecs, the advantage has only improved.

This blog post is the second part of a two-part series that describes how to host a secure Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) server on AWS using Dicoogle open source software. In part one of this blog series, I introduced DICOM, explained the functionalities the solution provides, highlighted the AWS services used, and […]

Introduction The sidecar deployment pattern lets developers decouple monolithic applications into separate processes with high levels of isolation and encapsulation. To address cross-cutting concerns like logging, monitoring, and authorization, organizations can decouple these operations into sidecar containers shared across multiple microservices within a deployment. In order to perform operations like authorization, microservice deployments often depend […]

This post was contributed by Robert Oberhofer, Senior Director of Technology Partnerships at MongoDB. This blog post introduces MongoDB Realm, and examines its core characteristics and key benefits. While Realm is widely used for building mobile applications, its capabilities are also relevant for other problem spaces, including IoT and Edge. Introduction to Realm Realm database […]

This blog is the first part of a two-part series that describes how to host a secure DICOM server on AWS. It is based on the Dicoogle open source software, which provides the functionality of a PACS (picture archiving and communication system). A PACS stores and indexes DICOM medical image files, and uses the DICOM […]
