Building highly available Oracle databases with Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP

This post shows how to build a highly available Oracle database architecture using FSxN shared storage, Auto Scaling groups with dynamic AMI updates, and serverless orchestration to help reduce recovery times with current configurations.

Automating contract intelligence with Doczy.ai™ on AWS

In this post, we show you how Doczy.ai™ uses generative AI on AWS to automate contract intelligence at scale, transforming unstructured documents into structured, actionable insights, so organizations can automate critical business processes and unlock the full value of their data.

Build a multi-tenant configuration system with tagged storage patterns

In this post, we demonstrate how you can build a scalable, multi-tenant configuration service using the tagged storage pattern, an architectural approach that uses key prefixes (like tenant_config_ or param_config_) to automatically route configuration requests to the most appropriate AWS storage service. This pattern maintains strict tenant isolation and supports real-time, zero-downtime configuration updates through event-driven architecture, alleviating the cache staleness problem.

Automate safety monitoring with computer vision and generative AI

This post describes a solution that uses fixed camera networks to monitor operational environments in near real-time, detecting potential safety hazards while capturing object floor projections and their relationships to floor markings. While we illustrate the approach through distribution center deployment examples, the underlying architecture applies broadly across industries. We explore the architectural decisions, strategies for scaling to hundreds of sites, reducing site onboarding time, synthetic data generation using generative AI tools like GLIGEN, and other critical technical hurdles we overcame.

Mastering millisecond latency and millions of events: The event-driven architecture behind the Amazon Key Suite

In this post, we explore how the Amazon Key team used Amazon EventBridge to modernize their architecture, transforming a tightly coupled monolithic system into a resilient, event-driven solution. We explore the technical challenges we faced, our implementation approach, and the architectural patterns that helped us achieve improved reliability and scalability. The post covers our solutions for managing event schemas at scale, handling multiple service integrations efficiently, and building an extensible architecture that accommodates future growth.

Secure Amazon Elastic VMware Service (Amazon EVS) with AWS Network Firewall

In this post, we demonstrate how to utilize AWS Network Firewall to secure an Amazon EVS environment, using a centralized inspection architecture across an EVS cluster, VPCs, on-premises data centers and the internet. We walk through the implementation steps to deploy this architecture using AWS Network Firewall and AWS Transit Gateway.

Build resilient generative AI agents

Generative AI agents in production environments demand resilience strategies that go beyond traditional software patterns. AI agents make autonomous decisions, consume substantial computational resources, and interact with external systems in unpredictable ways. These characteristics create failure modes that conventional resilience approaches might not address. This post presents a framework for AI agent resilience risk analysis […]
