My talks on Failing Over Without Falling Over are still very relevant, but AWS did finally release a key new service that implements key parts of the architecture: AWS Route 53 Application Recovery Controller. For example AWS launched an instance type with 800 Gbits/s of network bandwith in 2021.

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.

For storing schema changes, we use an internal library that implements the event sourcing pattern on top of the Cassandra database. Check out their conference talk and expect a future blog post from our colleagues. Our goal was to design a GraphQL schema that was reflective of the domain itself, not the database model.

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.

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 skip to the end if you want my take on those.

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.

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.

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.

So I will give you my take on it, all right, and know that if you’re at a conference and you mention this, you could get into a fist fight with someone. Because you get so excited about all this AWS stuff, Docker stuff, and in reality, it’s so hard just to build a successful product. So Jeff, what is DevOps? And infrastructure changes.
