Customers with complex computational workloads such as tightly coupled, parallel processes, or with applications that are very sensitive to network performance, can now achieve the same high compute and networking performance provided by custom-built infrastructure while benefiting from the elasticity, flexibility and cost advantages of Amazon EC2.

Today’s applications are built on multiple technologies, relying on vast networks of third-party providers and CDN’s. Analyzing server performance (CPU, memory, bandwidth, disk I/O) and database response times. Your customers demand optimal performance, whether they’re the only user or one of a thousand.

To make data count and to ensure cloud computing is unabated, companies and organizations must have highly available databases. A basic high availability database system provides failover (preferably automatic) from a primary database node to redundant nodes within a cluster. HA is sometimes confused with “fault tolerance.”

This article is an effort to explore techniques used by developers of in-stream data processing systems, trace the connections of these techniques to massive batch processing and OLTP/OLAP databases, and discuss how one unified query engine can support in-stream, batch, and OLAP processing at the same time. Pipelining.

Public cloud refers to on-demand infrastructure and services provided by a third party over the public internet. They use the same hardware, APIs, tools, and management controls for both the public and private clouds. After deployment, IT teams can also optimize the software and supporting hardware to ensure high performance.

Mobiles have different models, screen resolutions, operating systems, network types, hardware configurations, etc. Also, how to test the hardware of the mobile phone itself, is it supporting all the software as it should? Let us have a look at the most popular types of mobile testing for applications and hardware.

There was a time when standing up a website or application was simple and straightforward and not the complex networks they are today. Do you have a database? Was the database running? The last item to check was if the web server was able to talk to the database? The recipe was straightforward. Do you have a web server?

As well as AWS Regions, we also have 24 AWS Edge Network Locations in Europe. After finding it cost prohibitive to use colocation centers in local markets where their users are based, iZettle decided to give up hardware. After migrating, database queries that took six seconds now take three seconds in their AWS infrastructure.

The early GPU systems were very vendor specific and mostly consisted of graphic operators implemented in hardware being able to operate on data streams in parallel. Programming the GPU evolved in a similar fashion; it started with the early APIs being mainly pass-through to the operations programmed in hardware. Where to go from here?
