What is AWS Lambda?

Dynatrace

The 2014 launch of AWS Lambda marked a milestone in how organizations use cloud services to deliver their applications more efficiently, by running functions at the edge of the cloud without the cost and operational overhead of on-premises servers. What is AWS Lambda? Where does Lambda fit in the AWS ecosystem? Dynatrace news.

What is serverless computing? Driving efficiency without sacrificing observability

Dynatrace

REST APIs, authentication, databases, email, and video processing all have a home on serverless platforms. AWS Lambda functions are an example of how a serverless framework works: Developers write a function in a supported language or platform. When an application is triggered, it can cause latency as the application starts.

Embrace event-driven computing: Amazon expands DynamoDB with streams, cross-region replication, and database triggers

All Things Distributed

I am excited to share with you that today we are expanding DynamoDB with streams, cross-region replication, and database triggers. In traditional database architectures, database engines often run a small search engine or data warehouse engines on the same hardware as the database. Let me expand on each one of them.

A one size fits all database doesn't fit anyone

All Things Distributed

A common question that I get is why do we offer so many database products? To do this, they need to be able to use multiple databases and data models within the same application. Seldom can one database fit the needs of multiple distinct use cases. Seldom can one database fit the needs of multiple distinct use cases.

Cloudburst: stateful functions-as-a-service

The Morning Paper

On the Cloudburst design teams’ wish list: A running function’s ‘hot’ data should be kept physically nearby for low-latency access. Only now the database is itself a distributed KVS, and the slices of application functionality are much finer-grained. Updates should be allowed at any function invocation site.

Percentiles don’t work: Analyzing the distribution of response times for web services

Adrian Cockcroft

The mean and percentile measurements hide this structure, but the rest of this post will show how the structure can be measured and analyzed so that you can figure out a useful model of your system, understand what is driving the long tail of latencies and come up with better SLAs and measures of capacity.
