Capital-intensive storage solutions became as simple as PUTting and GETting objects in Amazon S3. At AWS we innovate by listening to and learning from our customers, and one of the things we hear from them is that they want it to be even simpler to run code in the cloud and to connect services together easily.

Choosing a cloud DBMS: architectures and tradeoffs Tan et al., If you’re moving an OLAP workload to the cloud (AWS in the context of this paper), what DBMS setup should you go with? Which I’m quite happy to see as my most recent data pipeline is based around Lambda, S3, and Athena, and it’s been working great for my use case.

On the Cloudburst design teams’ wish list: A running function’s ‘hot’ data should be kept physically nearby for low-latency access. The canononical cloud platform architecture decouples storage and compute services so that each can be scaled and operated independently, i.e., they are disaggregated.

We have seen that such devices can benefit greatly from the elastic resources of the cloud. Some applications – medical equipment, industrial machinery, and building automation are just a few – can't rely exclusively on the cloud for control, and require some form of local storage and execution. Law of Economics.

Coupled with stateless application servers to execute business logic and a database-like system to provide persistent storage, they form a core component of popular data center service archictectures. The network latency of fetching data over the network, even considering fast data center networks. Who knew! ;).

Given that Amazon’s AWS Lambda functions are only five years old this November, anyone with more than three years of experience is a very early adopter. latency, startup, mocking, etc.) Serverless presents a conceptually simpler path to deploying software for those in development roles with no need to manage servers and storage.

AWS has been offering a range of storage solutions: objects, block storage, databases, archiving, etc. Amazon EFS is a fully-managed service that makes it easy to set up and scale shared file storage in the AWS Cloud. With Amazon EFS, there is no minimum fee or setup costs, and customers pay only for the storage they use.
