Featured AWS Architecture Blog Posts
Let’s Architect! Architecting a Data Mesh
A data mesh architecture unites the disparate data sources within an organization through centrally managed data-sharing and governance guidelines. In this post, we highlight the foundational concepts of data architectures, and cover the patterns for designing a data mesh in the AWS Cloud with supporting resources.
Boosting Resiliency with an ML-based Telemetry Analytics Architecture
Data proliferation has become a norm and as organizations become more data driven, automating data pipelines that enable data ingestion, curation, and processing is vital. In this post, we explain how you can collect telemetry from your data pipeline jobs and use machine learning (ML) to build a lower- and upper-bound threshold to help operators identify anomalies in near-real time.
Architecting for Sustainability at AWS re:Invent 2022
AWS re:Invent 2022 featured 24 breakout sessions, chalk talks, and workshops on sustainability. In this blog post, we’ll highlight the sessions and announcements and discuss their relevance to the sustainability of, in, and through the cloud. We’ll look at AWS’ initiatives and progress toward delivering efficient, shared infrastructure, water stewardship, and sourcing renewable power.
