The Easiest Way to Compute in the Cloud – AWS Lambda

All Things Distributed

Capital-intensive storage solutions became as simple as PUTting and GETting objects in Amazon S3. Our answer is a new compute service called AWS Lambda. AWS Lambda makes building and delivering applications much easier by giving you a simple interface to upload your Node.js

Expanding the Cloud: Amazon Machine Learning Service, the Amazon Elastic Filesystem and more

All Things Distributed

AWS has been offering a range of storage solutions: objects, block storage, databases, archiving, etc. Amazon EFS is a fully-managed service that makes it easy to set up and scale shared file storage in the AWS Cloud. With Amazon EFS, there is no minimum fee or setup costs, and customers pay only for the storage they use.

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. The canononical cloud platform architecture decouples storage and compute services so that each can be scaled and operated independently, i.e., they are disaggregated.

A one size fits all database doesn't fit anyone

All Things Distributed

Use cases such as gaming, ad tech, and IoT lend themselves particularly well to the key-value data model where the access patterns require low-latency Gets/Puts for known key values. The purpose of DynamoDB is to provide consistent single-digit millisecond latency for any scale of workloads.

Unlocking the Value of Device Data with AWS Greengrass.

All Things Distributed

Some applications – medical equipment, industrial machinery, and building automation are just a few – can't rely exclusively on the cloud for control, and require some form of local storage and execution. Some applications may also rely on timely decisions: when maneuvering heavy machinery, an absolute minimum of latency is critical.

Accelerating Data: Faster and More Scalable ElastiCache for Redis

All Things Distributed

Three years ago, as part of our AWS Fast Data journey we introduced Amazon ElastiCache for Redis , a fully managed in-memory data store that operates at sub-millisecond latency. This allows for faster failover times while minimizing latency. The client keeps a map of Redis nodes, which is updated in case of failover.

Choosing a cloud DBMS: architectures and tradeoffs

The Morning Paper

Which I’m quite happy to see as my most recent data pipeline is based around Lambda, S3, and Athena, and it’s been working great for my use case. For cost calculations, the costs are a combination of compute costs, storage costs, data scan costs, and software license costs. The design space. Key findings. Serverless o?erings
