Traffic shaping / canary deployment was pre-announced at Serverless Conf NYC in October, and this is now available. Like Lambda, API Gateway now supports canary deployment / traffic shaping. A much bigger update is the new integration with CodeDeploy to support Traffic Shaping and Canary Releases. We’re the experts!

It gave us the opportunity to invent a new database architecture that would address to needs of modern cloud-scale applications, departing from the traditional approaches that had their roots in the databases of nineties. In this paper, we describe the architecture of Aurora and the design considerations leading to that architecture.

I started writing “ Serverless Architectures ” in May 2016. Gojko Adzic has done some great speaking and writing on his experience here, and I included the link to his talk from late 2017. I was glad to be able to talk about Amazon’s automated traffic shifting / canary releases. I thought a few folks might be interested.

This blog was originally published in October 2017 and was updated in September 2023. The sharding architecture consists of several components: Shard Servers : Shard servers are individual nodes within the sharded cluster. Sharding is a preferred approach for database systems facing substantial growth and needing high availability.

Unfortunately, using certain open source database software as part of an HA architecture can present significant challenges. Downtime due to SPOFs can also be attributed to bottlenecks from architectures designed for applications instead of databases. Despite all its upside, PostgreSQL software presents such challenges.
