The need for systems to be resilient is still increasing, and chaos engineering tools and techniques are developing as a key way to validate that resilience is working as designed. For example AWS launched an instance type with 800 Gbits/s of network bandwith in 2021. and develop the ideas in this deck further.

We found the answers at the Postgres Conference in March where we surveyed PostgreSQL users, contributors, and SQL and NoSQL database administrators alike. In a predictable discovery, we found that Amazon Web Services (AWS) claimed the majority at 55% of use for all PostgreSQL hosting activities in a public cloud environment.

This weekend I am travelling to Australia for the first AWS Summit of 2017. In the early nineties, Mendel Rosenblum and John Ousterhout had made a major breakthrough in the design of file systems with " The Design and Implementation of a Log-Structured File System." At times, it makes research unsuitable for production (e.g.

With these requirements in mind, and a willingness to question the status quo, a small group of distributed systems experts came together and designed a horizontally scalable distributed database that would scale out for both reads and writes to meet the long-term needs of our business. This was the genesis of the Amazon Dynamo database.

Clouds using Ethernet that are multipath optimized using libfabric and features like EFA on AWS are going to be increasingly competitive, and Ethernet will replace other interconnects between racks. The emergence of chiplet technology also allows higher performance and integration without having to design every chip from scratch.

STPA is based on a functional control diagram of the system, and the safety constraints and requirements for each component in the design. This is why most AWS regions have three availability zones.
