This post was written by Kevin Bell and Stefan Prodan. Canary deployments are a popular tool to reduce risk when deploying software, by exposing a new version to a small subset of traffic before rolling it out more broadly. Creating the machinery to do this kind of controlled rollout, and monitoring for possible problems and […]

This post was written by Frank Munz, Staff Developer Advocate at Databricks. An introduction to Delta Sharing During the past decade, much thought went into system and application architectures using domain-driven design and microservices, but we are still on the verge of building distributed data meshes. Such data meshes are based on two fundamental principles: […]

Modern data science environments often involve many independent projects, each spanning multiple accounts. In order to maintain a global overview of the activities within the projects, a mechanism to collect data from the different accounts into a central one is crucial. In this post, we show how to leverage existing services—Amazon DynamoDB, AWS Lambda, Amazon […]
