Where aws ends and the internet begins is an exercise left to the reader. Since that presentation, Pushy has grown in both size and scope, and this article will be discussing the investments we’ve made to evolve Pushy for the next generation of features. We’ll be writing about those new features as well — stay tuned for future posts.

The Pantheon in Rome — Extremely sustainable architecture — photo by Adrian I wrote a medium post after AWS re:Invent 2022 summarizing the (lack of) news and all the talks related to Sustainability. This includes providing the efficient, resilient services AWS customers expect, while minimizing their environmental footprint.

A future blog will continue my exploration into Citus by scaling out pgbench into other architectures.

Some opinions claim that “Benchmarks are meaningless”, “benchmarks are irrelevant” or “benchmarks are nothing like your real applications” However for others “Benchmarks matter,” as they “account for the processing architecture and speed, memory, storage subsystems and the database engine.”

Both Xen and KVM have had many performance and security improvements, and workloads can now be tuned to run at almost bare metal speeds (say, a 3% loss or less). Just from a quick search, see this presentation PDF , which digs into oops message components. Outside of EC2, many other providers are deploying on KVM.

As there are few individuals with this expertise, an easier process presents a significant opportunity for companies who want to accelerate their ML usage. After this, there is often a long process of training that includes tuning the knobs and levers, called hyperparameters, that control the different aspects of the training algorithm.

I also learned how marketing worked, and began to build my presentation and training skills as I was sent around the world by Sun to teach workshops and speak at events. 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.

This article is the first in a multi-part series sharing a breadth of Analytics Engineering work at Netflix, recently presented as part of our annual internal Analytics Engineering conference. It is challenging to scale such bespoke solutions to ever-changing and increasingly complex businessneeds.

Photo by Adrian of my father’s “round tuit” which I’m hoping will inspire AWS to do something… There’s an old saying that any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered with a “no”. Learn from Nasdaq, whose AI-powered environmental, social, and governance (ESG) platform uses Amazon Bedrock and AWS Lambda.
