Feed: Redis. Author: John Noonan. What is high availability architecture? A high available architecture is when there are a number of different components, modules, or services that work together to maintain optimal performance, irrespective of peak-time loads. In its purest sense, this system allows businesses to work continuously without failure over a given period of time. Many businesses can’t afford even a minute of downtime. Considering that data is the lifeblood of many businesses, even just a short period of downtime can be incredibly costly.  In certain real-life scenarios, lives may depend on a database built for high availability. When ... Read More

Feed: Redis. Author: Yiftach Shoolman. When interesting ideas and discussions about whether Redis’ architecture is still valid for today and future needs we think it is worth examining. A few years ago it was brought up around KeyDB, and recently a new project, Dragonfly, claimed to be the fastest Redis-compatible in-memory datastore. We believe these projects bring many interesting technologies and ideas worth discussing and debating. Here at Redis, we like this kind of challenge, as it requires us to reaffirm the architectural principles that Redis was initially designed with (hat tip to Salvatore Sanfilippo aka antirez). While we are ... Read More

Feed: AWS Architecture Blog. In this post, we provide a serverless solution to cost-optimize the storage of contact-center call recordings. The solution automates the scheduling, storage-tiering, and resampling of call-recording files, resulting in immediate cost savings. The solution is an asynchronous architecture built using AWS Step Functions, Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS), and AWS Lambda. Amazon Connect provides an omnichannel cloud contact center with the ability to maintain call recordings for compliance and gaining actionable insights using Contact Lens for Amazon Connect and AWS Contact Center Intelligence Partners. The storage required for call recordings can quickly increase as customers meet ... Read More

Feed: AWS for SAP. Author: Ferry Mulyadi. Introduction Cloud Security is job zero at AWS. We have a Shared Responsibility Model where customer assumes responsibility and management of the guest operating system (including updates and security patches), other associated application software as well as the configuration of the AWS services. A common question that new customers ask is how they can secure their mission critical SAP workloads. AWS has recently introduced AWS Well-Architected Framework for SAP (SAP Lens), which describes the best practices when implementing security control based on your requirement. One of the best practice is to ensure that ... Read More

Feed: AWS Public Sector Blog. Author: Sanjeev Pulapaka. Customer experience (CX) has emerged as a key priority in the US following the 2021 Biden Administration Executive Order (EO) to transform federal customer experience and service delivery. The blog post, “How the cloud enables transformational citizen experiences” discusses key areas for organizations to consider in their journey towards better CX, with application modernization as one of the most critical areas. Application modernization enables agencies to simplify business processes and provide customers with flexible, interactive, and simple to use applications, resulting in improved CX. In this blog post, we build on that ... Read More

Feed: AWS Architecture Blog. The AWS Well-Architected Framework defines resilience as “the capability to recover when stressed by load (more requests for service), attacks (either accidental through a bug, or deliberate through intention), and failure of any component in the workload’s components.” The need for resilient workloads transcends all customer industries, but it can often can be misunderstood, which can lead to workloads that do not incorporate resilient architecture at all or workloads that are over-engineered. Resilience is a technical problem, but it’s also about people and culture. It’s a continuous process that requires us to learn by iterating. Customers ... Read More
