Exploring Distributed Systems, Machine Learning and Operations, and Engineering Management
Today, we’ll talk about scalability, which is basically a system’s ability to handle more work by adding more resources to it without sacrificing performance. There are two ways to scale an architecture, and they are: Vertical Scaling: Adding or removing resources from a single resource. It usually involves adding CPUs, memory or storage to a […]
So, I was curious about how banks design and secure their applications, and stumbled upon a talk from HSBC on how they built their serverless architecture at scale. Check out the architecture: Now, let’s talk about the key design decisions: Small CIDR and large CIDR blocks are in two different VPCs. If we used just […]
If you’re looking to centralize security for multiple AWS accounts, then look no further than Megallan Health’s architecture. Sure, there are a few areas that could be improved, but it’s still a great starting point. This architecture was featured on the "This is My Architecture" series from AWS. Check out the following design: Now, let’s […]
Alright, let’s give this text a quick polish and sprinkle some sass on it! If you’re like me and you’re obsessed with cloud-based architectures, then you’ve gotta check out the "This is My Architecture" series from AWS. Every week, they feature a new design that’ll make your head spin with excitement. Today, we’re gonna talk […]
Operational Excellence: ability to run and monitor systems to deliver business value. Design Principles: + Perform operations as code. + Annotate documentation. + Make frequent, small, reversible changes. + Refine operations procedures frequently. + Learn from all operational failures. Best Practices: Key AWS Services + Prepare: Use AWS Config rules to create standards for workloads. […]
Alrighty, let me give this text a once-over and spruce it up a bit. Microservices can be quite the diva, consuming distributed resources and throwing tantrums when they don’t get their way. Unfortunately, when one of them acts up, it can impact other services as well. Kinda like that one friend who ruins the whole […]
Any kind of failure can negatively impact a business value and when designing an application we need to proactively design for events like that. The preparation of recovering from a failure is Disaster Recovery(DR). In this blog, we’re going to list down the disaster recovery recommendations provided by AWS. We’re going to keep the subject […]
