The Easiest Way to Compute in the Cloud – AWS Lambda

All Things Distributed

Capital-intensive storage solutions became as simple as PUTting and GETting objects in Amazon S3. Our answer is a new compute service called AWS Lambda. AWS Lambda makes building and delivering applications much easier by giving you a simple interface to upload your Node.js

Unlocking the Value of Device Data with AWS Greengrass.

All Things Distributed

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. Some applications may also rely on timely decisions: when maneuvering heavy machinery, an absolute minimum of latency is critical.

Choosing a cloud DBMS: architectures and tradeoffs

The Morning Paper

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. For cost calculations, the costs are a combination of compute costs, storage costs, data scan costs, and software license costs. The design space. Key findings. Serverless o?erings

In-Stream Big Data Processing

Highly Scalable

This system has been designed to supplement and succeed the existing Hadoop-based system that had too high latency of data processing and too high maintenance costs. The pipelines can be stateful and the engine’s middleware should provide a persistent storage to enable state checkpointing. Marz, “Big Data Lambda Architecture”.

Cloudburst: stateful functions-as-a-service

The Morning Paper

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.

Expanding the Cloud: Amazon Machine Learning Service, the Amazon Elastic Filesystem and more

All Things Distributed

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.

How to Reduce Your CDN Infrastructure Expenses

IO River

For example, Lambda@Edge request pricing is $0.6 Some are standard, offering the basic services you need to ensure traffic routing and low latency, while others offer premium services like advanced security capabilities. For example, the first 10TB to South America cost $0.11.Source: per one million requests.
