Feed: The Connector by Workato. Author: Jon Gitlin; What’s stopping you from performing at your best? For some, it’s an excessive amount of caffeine; for others, it’s the allure of social media during working hours; and for most, it’s the consistent and extensive volume of manual tasks they’re forced to perform day-to-day. In just a single day, employees have to switch between apps more than 1,000 times to re-enter data, find information, send notifications, etc. In doing so, they’re sapping hours of precious time that can be better spent on tasks that require their unique set of skills and expertise ...

Feed: AWS Public Sector Blog. Author: Ankur Taunk. It’s time consuming for public sector organizations to sort through packed voicemail inboxes, figure out how to respond, return calls, and take detailed records on each call. Consider a common issue for healthcare systems: How does a hospital employee report that they are sick, especially during a pandemic? A common approach for healthcare organizations is to set up a voicemail box for the sick employee to leave a message and for a team of nurses to review and return the employee’s call, but this approach quickly does not scale. Voicemail boxes get ... Read More

Feed: Recent Announcements. When you create an AWS DataSync task to transfer your data to and from AWS Storage, you can now specify include filters as well as exclude filters, providing you with even greater control over how your data is transferred. With this enhancement, you can now schedule tasks that utilize both exclude and include filters to transfer only a subset of files in your source location. Additionally, you can now queue multiple executions of a task when the filter settings differ between executions. DataSync filters enable you to specify which files, folders, or objects get transferred each time a ... Read More

Feed: AWS Compute Blog. Author: Eric Johnson. This post was written by Diggory Briercliffe, Senior IoT Architect. When implementing a task queue, you can use Amazon SQS standard or FIFO (First-In-First-Out) queue types. Both queue types give priority to tasks created earlier over tasks that are created later. However, there are use cases where you need a LIFO (Last-In-First-Out) queue. This post shows how to implement a serverless LIFO task queue. This uses AWS Lambda, Amazon DynamoDB, AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM), and other AWS Serverless technologies. The LIFO task queue gives priority to newer queue tasks over earlier ...
