What is serverless computing? Driving efficiency without sacrificing observability

Dynatrace

Traditional computing models rely on virtual or physical machines, where each instance includes a complete operating system, CPU cycles, and memory. There is no need to plan for extra resources, update operating systems, or install frameworks. The provider is essentially your system administrator. What is serverless computing?

In-Stream Big Data Processing

Highly Scalable

In recent years, this idea got a lot of traction and a whole bunch of solutions like Twitter’s Storm, Yahoo’s S4, Cloudera’s Impala, Apache Spark, and Apache Tez appeared and joined the army of Big Data and NoSQL systems. The system should deliver performance of tens of thousands messages per second even on clusters of minimal size.

Embrace event-driven computing: Amazon expands DynamoDB with streams, cross-region replication, and database triggers

All Things Distributed

In this blog post, I will explain how these three new capabilities empower you to build applications with distributed systems architecture and create responsive, reliable, and high-performance applications using DynamoDB that work at any scale. DynamoDB Streams simplifies and improves this design pattern with a distributed systems approach.
