The MPP system leverages a shared-nothing architecture to handle multiple operations in parallel. Typically an MPP system has one leader node and one or many compute nodes. This allows Greenplum to distribute the load between their different segments and use all of the system’s resources parallely to process a query.

In supply chain management, connections between airports, warehouses, and retail aisles are critical for cost and time optimization. Another example is for tracking inventory in a vast logistics system, where only a subset of its locations is relevant for a specific item. Graph databases at Amazon.

The epoch of AWS is the launch of Amazon S3 on March 14, 2006, now almost 10 years ago. Given that AWS is a pioneer in building and operating these services world-wide, these lessons have been of crucial importance to our business. Build evolvable systems. Systems need to keep running even if the “house is on fire.”

We were pushing the limits of what was a leading commercial database at the time and were unable to sustain the availability, scalability and performance needs that our growing Amazon business demanded. So, we set out to build a fully hosted AWS database service based upon the original Dynamo design.

All this can be done centrally from your Dynatrace cluster, regardless if you’re monitoring physical hosts, AWS EC2 server instances, services running in Kubernetes Pods, virtual machines under VMware, or any supported operating system or technology that can be monitored using Dynatrace. A few customer use cases.

AWS is far and away the cloud leader, followed by Azure (at more than half of share) and Google Cloud. But most Azure and GCP users also use AWS; the reverse isn’t necessarily true. Technical leads and architects (about 11%) are next, followed by software and systems architects (9+%). Amazon and AWS Ascendant.

Four 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 microsecond latency. Whether it is gaming, adtech, travel, or retail—speed wins, it's simple. The system is more robust. Under the hood.

Last week, I wrote a blog about helping the machine learning scientist community select the right deep learning framework from among many we support on AWS such as MxNet, TensorFlow, Caffe, etc. Developers can build, test, and deploy chatbots directly from the AWS Management Console. Amazon Lex.
