Queue Integration with Third-party Services on AWS

Commercial off-the-shelf software and third-party services can present an integration challenge in event-driven workflows when they do not natively support AWS APIs. This is even more impactful when a workflow is subject to unpredicted usage spikes, and you want to increase decoupling and fault tolerance. Given the third-party nature of services, polling an HAQM Simple […]

Manage your Digital Microscopy Data using OMERO on AWS

The Open Microscopy Environment (OME) consortium develops open-source software and format standards for microscopy data. OME Remote Objects (OMERO) is an open source, image data management platform designed to support digital pathology and cellular biology studies. You can access, share, and work with various biological data. This can include histopathology, high content screening, electron microscopy, […]

Architecture: Recursive Scaling using HAQM SQS and HAQM ECS Fargate cluster

Design Pattern for Highly Parallel Compute: Recursive Scaling with HAQM SQS

Scaling based on HAQM Simple Queue Service (SQS) is a commonly used design pattern. At AWS Professional Services, we have recently used a variant of this pattern to achieve highly parallel computation for larger customers. In fact, any use case with a tree-like set of entities can use this pattern. It’s useful in a workflow […]

Scaling RStudio/Shiny using Serverless Architecture and AWS Fargate

Data scientists use RStudio server as an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to develop, publish, and share interactive web dashboards built on Shiny Server. Although it is possible to use virtual server infrastructure in the cloud to run R workloads, containerization offers significant operational benefits. Migrating R workloads into a serverless model in AWS, customers can […]

Field Notes: Optimize your Java application for HAQM ECS with Quarkus

In this blog post, I show you an interesting approach to implement a Java-based application and compile it to a native image using Quarkus. This native image is the main application, which is containerized, and runs in an HAQM Elastic Container Service and HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service cluster on AWS Fargate. HAQM ECS is a […]

Unlocking Data from Existing Systems with a Serverless API Facade

In today’s modern world, it’s not enough to produce a good product; it’s critical that your products and services are well integrated into the surrounding business ecosystem. Companies lose market share when valuable data about their products or services are locked inside their systems. Business partners and internal teams use data from multiple sources to […]

Why Deployment Requirements are Important When Making Architectural Choices

Introduction Too often, architects fall into the trap of thinking the architecture of an application is restricted to just the runtime part of the architecture. By doing this we focus on only a single customer (such as the application’s users and how they interact with the system) and we forget about other important customers like […]

Field Notes: Serverless Container-based APIs with HAQM ECS and HAQM API Gateway

A growing number of organizations choose to build their APIs with Docker containers. For hosting and exposing these container-based APIs, they need a solution which supports HTTP requests routing, autoscaling, and high availability. In some cases, user authorization is also needed. For this purpose, many organizations are orchestrating their containerized services with HAQM Elastic Container […]

Field Notes: Integrating HTTP APIs with AWS Cloud Map and HAQM ECS Services

This post was cowritten with Preeti Pragya Jha, a senior software developer in Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). Companies are continually looking for ways to optimize cost. This is true of RS Components, a global trading brand of Electrocomponents plc, a global omni-channel provider of industrial and electronic products and solutions. RS Components set out to […]
