In this post, we explore how Metagenomi built a scalable database and search solution for over 1 billion protein vectors using LanceDB and Amazon S3. The solution enables rapid enzyme discovery by transforming proteins into vector embeddings and implementing a serverless architecture that combines AWS Lambda, AWS Step Functions, and Amazon S3 for efficient nearest neighbor searches.

This two-part series shows how Karrot developed a new feature platform, which consists of three main components: feature serving, a stream ingestion pipeline, and a batch ingestion pipeline. This post starts by presenting our motivation, our requirements, and the solution architecture, focusing on feature serving.

This two-part series shows how Karrot developed a new feature platform, which consists of three main components: feature serving, a stream ingestion pipeline, and a batch ingestion pipeline. This post covers the process of collecting features in real-time and batch ingestion into an online store, and the technical approaches for stable operation.

In this post, you’ll learn how Zapier has built their serverless architecture focusing on three key aspects: using Lambda functions to build isolated Zaps, operating over a hundred thousand Lambda functions through Zapier’s control plane infrastructure, and enhancing security posture while reducing maintenance efforts by introducing automated function upgrades and cleanup workflows into their platform architecture.

In this post, we show you how to implement comprehensive monitoring for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) workloads using AWS managed services. This solution demonstrates building an EKS platform that combines flexible compute options with enterprise-grade observability using AWS native services and OpenTelemetry.

AWS Transform for VMware is a service that tackles cloud migration challenges by significantly reducing manual effort and accelerating the migration of critical VMware workloads to AWS Cloud.
