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...
Hosting a static website on Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) combined with Amazon CloudFront (a Content Delivery Network or CDN) is a popular choice for achieving high availability, scalability, and low-latency content delivery. By leveraging these AWS services, you can ensure your website is fast...
Kubernetes is the backbone of modern container orchestration, and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) makes deploying Kubernetes clusters seamless. But with great flexibility comes the challenge of monitoring these clusters effectively. This is where Prometheus and Grafana step in as the ultimat...
AWS Resource Control Policies are critical for managing your cloud resources effectively. But instead of diving straight into a guide, let’s step back and explore their broader significance. We’ll examine their impact on security, cost control, and compliance, and then wrap up with a practical g...
Managing Kubernetes deployments can sometimes feel like herding cats. You start with a couple of YAML files, then suddenly you’re juggling dozens of manifests for pods, services, and configurations. Chaos looms. That’s where Helm charts come in — the unsung heroes of the Kubernetes univers...
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...
Serverless computing with AWS Lambda has revolutionized how applications are built and deployed. It simplifies infrastructure management, scales seamlessly, and is cost-efficient. However, one term often makes developers pause: cold starts. If you’ve ever experienced unexpected latency with Lambda...
Introduction With data breaches on the rise, securing sensitive information stored in the cloud is paramount. Amazon S3, one of the most widely used storage solutions, offers multiple encryption methods to safeguard data. However, managing encryption for large volumes of existing objects can be time...
In the fast-paced world of cloud computing and DevOps, visibility into system performance and security is crucial. Traditional monitoring tools, while powerful, often struggle with the complexity and dynamic nature of modern infrastructure. Enter eBPF (Extended Berkeley Packet Filter)—a groundbrea...
