Real-time streaming workers that hold hundreds of persistent WebSocket connections lose data when a worker fails. Learn how to build a WebSocket fleet management system on Amazon ECS and AWS Fargate that uses Amazon DynamoDB conditional writes as a distributed lease to track ownership, fail over automatically, and deploy with low downtime.

Learn how to use AWS Fault Injection Service and AWS Systems Manager Automation to run progressive chaos experiments against Amazon SQS queues. Validate that your retry logic, circuit breakers, and dead-letter queues actually work under failure before a real outage hits production.

Learn how AWS, HashiCorp, and Athenahealth designed and chaos-tested a multi-Region disaster recovery strategy for Terraform Enterprise on AWS. This post walks through three-phase AWS Fault Injection Service experiments across Amazon EC2, Aurora, and Amazon S3, the 12-14 minute recovery times achieved, and the state file dependency pitfall to avoid.

Learn how to build a hybrid cloud orchestration solution that manages distributed on-premises infrastructure at scale using AWS serverless technologies and Amazon EKS Anywhere. Part 1 covers the core event-driven architecture patterns for automating server lifecycle and cluster management across hundreds of sites.

On July 28, 2026, MCP made its protocol core stateless, removing the initialize handshake and session header. This post maps the MCP 2026-07-28 specification to the AWS Well-Architected Agentic AI Lens, pillar by pillar, and shows why the stateless design lets you delete the sticky sessions and session stores your MCP servers needed on AWS.

Gallup transformed 90 years of workplace science into Gallup AI, a generative AI assistant powered by Amazon Bedrock that delivers real-time, personalized coaching to leaders directly within the Gallup Access application.

Most teams give AI agents either full access or read-only, leaving value unused or risk unmanaged. This post describes graduated autonomy, an architectural pattern in which agents earn expanded permissions through sustained reliability and lose them when performance degrades, built on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, Amazon DynamoDB, and AWS CodePipeline.

When AWS accounts move between organizations, organization-bound AWS RAM resource shares break and control-plane access is lost. Learn how a global payment processor used temporary bridge shares to preserve AWS Lake Formation permissions across a 382-account AWS Organizations migration, then restored the original shares as the durable source of truth.

With native vector search in Amazon DynamoDB, you can store vector embeddings alongside your operational data in a single table. This post shows how to build a unified AI agent architecture where an Amazon Bedrock agent uses one DynamoDB table for both structured lookups and semantic search, with a DynamoDB Streams pipeline that keeps embeddings in sync.

Part 2: how AgentFlo built trusted, reliable AI sales agents on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore and AWS serverless architecture. Learn the three-layer guardrails, grounded data foundation, and end-to-end observability behind a +12% net revenue uplift, plus what’s next for real-time voice and server-side tool execution.
