Build a serverless retail solution for endless aisle on AWS
In traditional business models, retailers handle order-fulfillment processes from start to finish—including inventory management, owning or leasing warehouses, and managing supply chains. But many retailers aren’t set up to carry additional inventory. The “endless aisle” business model is an alternative solution for lean retailers that are carrying enough in-store inventory while wanting to avoid revenue […]
Content Repository for Unstructured Data with Multilingual Semantic Search: Part 2
Leveraging vast unstructured data poses challenges, particularly for global businesses needing cross-language data search. In Part 1 of this blog series, we built the architectural foundation for the content repository. The key component of Part 1 was the dynamic access control-based logic with a web UI to upload documents. In Part 2, we extend the […]
Temporal data lake architecture for benchmark and indices analytics
Financial trading houses and stock exchanges generate enormous volumes of data in near real-time, making it difficult to perform bi-temporal calculations that yield accurate results. Achieving this requires a processing architecture that can handle large volumes of data during peak bursts, meet strict latency requirements, and scale according to incoming volumes. In this post, we’ll […]

Reduce archive cost with serverless data archiving
For regulatory reasons, decommissioning core business systems in financial services and insurance (FSI) markets requires data to remain accessible years after the application is retired. Traditionally, FSI companies either outsourced data archiving to third-party service providers, which maintained application replicas, or purchased vendor software to query and visualize archival data. In this blog post, we […]
Let’s Architect! Open-source technologies on AWS
We brought you a Let’s Architect! blog post about open-source on AWS that covered some technologies with development led by AWS/HAQM, as well as well-known solutions available on managed AWS services. Today, we’re following the same approach to share more insights about the process itself for developing open-source. That’s why the first topic we discuss […]
Let’s Architect! Designing architectures for multi-tenancy
Understanding architectural patterns for multi-tenancy has become crucial for architects and developers aiming to deliver scalable, secure, and cost-effective solutions. Isolating tenant data is a fundamental responsibility for Software as a Service (SaaS) providers. In this edition of Let’s Architect!, we talk about comprehensive exploration of multi-tenant architectures, covering various aspects, such as SaaS microservices, […]
dApp authentication with HAQM Cognito and Web3 proxy with HAQM API Gateway
If your decentralized application (dApp) must interact directly with AWS services like HAQM S3 or HAQM API Gateway, you must authorize your users by granting them temporary AWS credentials. This solution uses HAQM Cognito in combination with your users’ digital wallet to obtain valid HAQM Cognito identities and temporary AWS credentials for your users. It […]
Let’s Architect! Designing serverless solutions
During his re:Invent 2022 keynote, Werner Vogels, AWS Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, emphasized the asynchronous nature of our world and the challenges associated with incorporating asynchronicity into our architectures. AWS serverless services can help users concentrate on the asynchronous aspects of their workloads, easing the execution of event-driven architectures and enabling the adoption […]
