The infrastructure that runs your applications can be nearly as complex as the applications it supports. This complexity generally scales with the resilience of the architecture of your application, the scaling needs, and any security concerns. Thus, successful infrastructure for traditional applications often relies on a comprehensive tooling suite that allows the infrastructure engineers to iterate upon and improve your application’s resources.
In our latest article on the Amazon Builders’ Library, Yan Cui highlights the main takeaways from the article, Implementing health checks, by AWS Principal Engineer David Yanacek.
Serverless development opens lots of new opportunities, and if you’re invested in serverless (or you’ve been following the hype) you’ll know that cost efficiency is principal among those benefits. Simply put, we can save money by choosing the right tool for the right task. Since a distributed microservices architecture is made up of many managed services it’s a simple task to change out the building blocks of a particular application flow.
Next in our series on the Amazon Builders’ Library, Yan Cui picks out the key insights from the article, Static stability using availability zones, by AWS Senior Principal Engineer Becky Weiss and AWS Principal Engineer Mike Furr.
The DevOps infinity loop is a visualization that everyone reading this article is likely familiar with, and one that comfortably predates serverless computing. Yet despite the peculiarities of developing within the serverless paradigm, it’s still what guides our approach to CICD. But while the zoomed-out view might be the same, when it comes to adjusting for serverless, the devil is in the details.
In the latest article in our series focusing on the Amazon Builders’ Library, Yan Cui highlights the key insights from Avoiding insurmountable queue backlogs by AWS Principal Engineer David Yanacek.
Lumigo is pleased to announce that it has achieved ISO 27001 and ISO 27799 (HIPAA compliance) certification. The certifications require the company to undergo annual auditing to ensure it meets exacting standards for its information security procedures and handling of Protected Health Information.
In the third of our series of articles, Yan Cui highlights the key insights from the Amazon Builders’ Library article, Avoiding fallback in distributed systems, by AWS Senior Principal Engineer Jacob Gabrielson.
AWS Lambda has become the most widely used deployment pattern for serverless applications. It allows developers to set aside worrying about server provisioning, maintenance, idle capacity management and scaling, and instead to focus solely on writing business logic. But that’s not entirely true. Because while Lambda is a self-managed AWS service, it still requires careful design to get the best performance out of the computation capabilities it provides.
