Choosing a cloud DBMS: architectures and tradeoffs Tan et al., As it is infeasible to test every OLAP system runnable on AWS, we chose widely-used systems that represented a variety of architectures and cost models. Query performance is measured from both warm and cold caches. VLDB’19. The design space.

To get a better understanding of AWS serverless, we’ll first explore the basics of serverless architectures, review AWS serverless offerings, and explore common use cases. Serverless architecture: A primer. Serverless architecture shifts application hosting functions away from local servers onto those managed by providers.

This article is an effort to explore techniques used by developers of in-stream data processing systems, trace the connections of these techniques to massive batch processing and OLTP/OLAP databases, and discuss how one unified query engine can support in-stream, batch, and OLAP processing at the same time.

I am excited to share with you that today we are expanding DynamoDB with streams, cross-region replication, and database triggers. Streams provide you with the underlying infrastructure to create new applications, such as continuously updated free-text search indexes, caches, or other creative extensions requiring up-to-date table changes.

Last week we looked at a function shipping solution to the problem; Cloudburst uses the more common data shipping to bring data to caches next to function runtimes (though you could also make a case that the scheduling algorithm placing function execution in locations where the data is cached a flavour of function-shipping too).

Coupled with stateless application servers to execute business logic and a database-like system to provide persistent storage, they form a core component of popular data center service archictectures. Oh, you mean a cache? Yes, a bit like those 2nd-level caches we were talking about earlier, e.g. Ehcache from 2003 onwards.
