7 Reasons Why You Should Consider a Data Lake

With the volume, velocity, and variety of today’s data, we have all started to acknowledge that there is no one-size-fits-all database for all data needs. Instead, many companies shifted towards choosing the right data store for a specific use case or project. The distribution of data across different data stores brought the challenge of consolidating data for analytics.

Microservices vs. Serverless Architecture

Microservices and serverless are both important topics in the world of cloud-native computing. Yet, although serverless functions and microservices architectures often go hand-in-hand, they’re distinct technologies that fill different roles in modern software environments. Here’s an overview of what microservices and serverless are, how they relate to each other, how they are different, and why you may or may not wish to deploy a serverless microservice.

Webinar: Understanding Serverless Observability with AWS and Lumigo

Serverless experts from AWS and Lumigo go over how to add monitoring, logging, and distributed tracing to your serverless applications. Learn how to track serverless health metrics by getting visibility and alerts on specific serverless issues. Then troubleshoot using visual serverless maps, correlated AWS services, and logs to understand what service requires attention to keep high levels of application reliability.

Hello, Stack.new

I’ve learned a lot about serverless in my first full year at Stackery after joining from the Ops-focused automation company, Puppet. I’ve learned how to deploy rich CMS-backed web applications in a serverless way, how to cast incantations using CloudFormation’s intrinsic functions, but most of all I’ve learned that there’s a lot to learn in order to be successful in AWS.

Serverless for the Enterprise

Mutual of Enumclaw, a 100-year-old insurance company from Washington, modernized their policy processing system in order to reduce TCO and focus on their software and customers - not infrastructure. However, they realized serverless development still presents many DevOps challenges like environments, workflows, documentation and local development.

Webinar: How Serverless is Changing the Cost Paradigm

-One of the key characteristics of serverless components is the pay-per-use pricing model. For example, with AWS Lambda, you don’t pay for the uptime of the underlying infrastructure but just the number of invocations and how long your code actually runs. This removes the need for many micro-optimizations. As a result, many applications would run at a fraction of the cost if they were moved to serverless.
