Modern cloud applications are designed for speed, flexibility, and scale—but with that complexity comes fragility. Unexpected outages, cascading failures, or misconfigured systems can bring even the most well-architected services to a halt. The solution? Break your own systems—before they break ...
Event-driven architectures are at the heart of modern, scalable, and resilient cloud applications. By reacting to events in real-time, these architectures enable loosely coupled components that can independently process and respond to various triggers. AWS Step Functions and AWS Lambda are two essen...
When building modern applications, you often need to manage how requests flow into your system. Two critical tools in this process are API Gateway and Load Balancer. While both play pivotal roles in handling client requests, they serve different purposes and are suited for distinct scenarios. In thi...
When building cloud architectures on AWS, network connectivity is a critical factor. Two popular options for interconnecting Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) are VPC Transit Gateway and VPC Peering. While both provide a mechanism for enabling communication between VPCs, they differ significantly...
