We had specializations in hardware, operating systems, databases, graphics, etc. I saw Erik Fisher last time I was in Budapest, and Constantin Gonzalez later became one of the first AWS solutions architects in Germany, too many names to mention. It was the first database sizing guide Sun had ever produced. He hasn’t changed.

With existing customers I get a change to dive deep on their AWS usage and understand what works well and where we can do better. Visiting future customers is equally exiting as you get a change to understand their current architecture, if it is a migration, and how they plan to exploit cloud services in their new setup.

A Cassandra database cluster had switched to Ubuntu and noticed write latency increased by over 30%. top(1) showed that only the Cassandra database was consuming CPU. I happened to be speaking at a technical confering while still debugging this, and mentioned what I was working on to a processor engineer.

The shift to cloud native design is transforming both software architecture and infrastructure and operations. Still cloud-y, but with a possibility of migration. Strong usage in cloud platforms (+16%) accounted for most cloud-specific growth. Cloud native design is a new way of thinking about software and architecture.

Today marks the 10 year anniversary of Amazon's Dynamo whitepaper , a milestone that made me reflect on how much innovation has occurred in the area of databases over the last decade and a good reminder on why taking a customer obsessed approach to solving hard problems can have lasting impact beyond your original expectations.

For storing schema changes, we use an internal library that implements the event sourcing pattern on top of the Cassandra database. The schema registry also integrates with our CI/CD systems like Spinnaker to automatically setup cloud networking for DGSs. Fourth, we deploy our gateway layer to multiple AWS regions around the world.

The light show at the re:Play party Another re:Invent has come and gone, and us mere AWS-using mortals are now rapidly trying to sort the wheat from the chaff of a heady harvest of announcements. It’s funny to think that AWS Lambda was announced at re:Invent only 3 years ago?—?the Cloud9 is, at its most simple, a cloud hosted IDE.

It would take 5–10 minutes after the problem occurred to appear as a problem, then people have to notice and respond to emails or pager text messages, dial into a conference call, and log in to monitoring dashboards before any human response can start. This is why most AWS regions have three availability zones.

Even if code lives in a separate codebase, high-coupling and co-change will exist if boundaries are not cohesive Shared libraries, shared databases, APIs… there are number of tactical patterns we can use in this situation, but when there is a strong coupling between different codebases, the costs and risks are higher.
