At Pendulum, we combine state-of-the-art genome sequencing, cell culturing, and manufacturing processes to produce Pendulum Glucose Control, the only medical probiotic clinically shown to lower blood glucose spikes for the dietary management of type 2 diabetes through the gut microbiome. Research and development at Pendulum requires the synthesis of a diverse set of rich data and information streams, and this year we undertook a project to aggregate much of our data into a single database, the Pendulum knowledge graph, which integrates publicly available information on bacterial metabolism with the DNA sequencing data we generate for our strains.

Time series data is one of the fastest growing categories across a variety of industry segments, such as application monitoring, DevOps, clickstream analysis, network traffic monitoring, industrial IoT, consumer IoT, manufacturing, and many more. Customers want to track billions of time series monitoring hundreds of millions of devices, industrial equipment, gaming sessions, streaming video sessions, […]

Customers asked us to integrate Telegraf with Amazon Timestream, a fast, scalable, serverless time series database service for IoT and operational applications, so we did. Thanks to the Timestream output plugin for Telegraf, you can now ingest metrics from Telegraf agent directly to Timestream.

Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) is a fast, scalable, highly available, and fully managed document database service that supports MongoDB workloads. You can use the same MongoDB 3.6, 4.0 or 5.0 application code, drivers, and tools to run, manage, and scale workloads on Amazon DocumentDB without worrying about managing the underlying infrastructure.

For very large migrations, AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) replication can run for hours or days depending on the data being replicated. It’s advisable to monitor the AWS DMS resources for a smooth migration. Monitoring your resources can help you detect anomalies and trigger notifications based on the threshold metrics configured. You can use […]

This post discusses how these telecommunication companies used Amazon Managed Blockchain to build a universal mobile identity card platform and how this service works.

In this post, we demonstrate how to use Amazon SageMaker notebooks to connect to Amazon DocumentDB for a simple, powerful, and flexible development experience. We walk through the steps using the AWS Management Console, but also include an AWS CloudFormation template to add an Amazon SageMaker notebook to your existing Amazon DocumentDB environment.

To migrate an Oracle database to Amazon Aurora with PostgreSQL compatibility, you usually need to perform both automated and manual tasks. The automated tasks involve schema conversion using AWS Schema Conversion Tool (AWS SCT) and data migration using AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS). The manual tasks involve post-AWS SCT migration touch-ups for certain database […]

Amazon Neptune engine version 1.0.4.0 supports Apache TinkerPop 3.4.8, which introduces some new features and bug fixes. This post outlines these features, like the new elementMap() step and the improved behavior for working with map instances, and provides some examples to demonstrate their capabilities with Neptune. Upgrading your drivers to 3.4.8 should be straightforward and typically require no changes to your Gremlin code.
