Building a scalable user search layer on top of Amazon Cognito
In this post, we show how to build a comprehensive scalable user search layer on top of Amazon Cognito using AWS Lambda, Amazon DynamoDB, and Amazon OpenSearch Service.
Cyber recovery on AWS: A reference approach for recovering from ransomware and destructive events
October 2026: This post was reviewed and updated for accuracy. Ransomware and other destructive events can compromise not just your production environment but the backups, credentials, and infrastructure you depend on for recovery. Cyber recovery addresses this case: restoring workloads to a known-good state when you cannot trust your own recovery inputs. In this post, […]
How ALS GeoAnalytics LITHOLENS ™ revolutionizes core logging through machine learning with Amazon EKS
This post explores how ALS GeoAnalytics successfully deployed LITHOLENS ™ with Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) to scale model training and inference while minimizing cost.
How Synthesia optimizes generative AI video inference on Amazon EC2 G7e instances
This post introduces a video decoding optimization technique that we have ideated in collaboration with Synthesia Research Engineering team, which we call Asynchronous Frame Generation Pipeline. Adopting this technique allows you to overlap GPU compute, device-to-host (D2H) data transfer, and host-side post-processing. In this post, we apply this technique to the VAE decoder of a Wan video generation model as an example, where our benchmarks on G7e show increased GPU kernel utilization from 82% to 99.9%, in turn leading to an 8.2% decrease in latency (and increase in throughput) for video decoding. We expect this technique to benefit any customer with a chunked video generation pipeline that transfers frames to host memory.
Streaming CloudWatch metrics to VPC-based OpenTelemetry collectors using Lambda
In this post, we demonstrate an approach we used to address this challenge for a customer by implementing an AWS Lambda transformation function that streams Amazon CloudWatch metrics directly to internal OpenTelemetry collectors running within a VPC.
Building hybrid multi-tenant architecture for stateful services on AWS
In this post, we show you how to build a hybrid multi-tenant architecture that provides strong tenant isolation without requiring per-tenant AWS accounts. You learn how to configure Route 53 weighted routing to distribute traffic across multiple accounts, deploy Application Load Balancer listener rules for tenant-specific routing, create dedicated ECS clusters per tenant, and establish AWS PrivateLink connectivity to shared dependencies.
Choosing between single or multiple organizations in AWS Organizations
Organizations face critical architectural decisions that can impact their operations for years to come such as: Is it better to maintain a single organization or implement multiple organizations? In this post, I explain the key advantages and disadvantages of both approaches and the scenarios where each model fits best.
Deloitte optimizes EKS environment provisioning and achieves 89% faster testing environments using Amazon EKS and vCluster
In this post, we explore how Deloitte used Amazon EKS and vCluster to transform their testing infrastructure.
Modernizing KYC with AWS serverless solutions and agentic AI for financial services
This post extends IBM’s approach to real-time KYC validation using generative AI, as previously discussed in the post IBM Digital KYC on AWS uses Generative AI to transform Client Onboarding and KYC Operations. It transforms compliance operations through autonomous decision-making and intelligent automation using agentic AI, event-driven architecture, and AWS serverless services. The solution addresses the fundamental limitations of traditional rule-based systems. It provides autonomous decision-making, dynamic adaptation, and intelligent automation that transforms compliance operations.
PACIFIC enables multi-tenant, sovereign product carbon footprint exchange on the Catena-X data space using AWS
This post explores how PACIFIC enables multi-tenant, sovereign PCF exchange on the Catena-X data space using Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) on AWS Fargate, Amazon Cognito, and AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to deliver measurable environmental impact and competitive advantage in a carbon-conscious marketplace.
