Simplify document search at scale with intelligent search bot on AWS
AWS Architecture Blog
by Rostislav Markov
1w ago
Enterprise document management systems (EDMS) manage the lifecycle and distribution of documents. They often rely on keyword-based search functionality. However, it increasingly becomes hard to discover documents as such repositories grow to tens of thousands of items. In this blog, we discuss how Amazon Web Services (AWS) built an intelligent search bot on top of the document repository of a global life sciences company. Before this enhancement, the native repository search function relied solely on keywords and document names, leading to a trial-and-error process. Now, scientists can effortl ..read more

Physics on AWS: Optimizing wind turbine performance using OpenFAST in a digital twin
AWS Architecture Blog
by Marco Masciola
2w ago
Wind energy plays a crucial role in global decarbonization efforts by generating emission-free power from an abundant resource. In 2022, wind energy produced 2100 terawatt-hours (TWh) globally, or over 7% of global electricity, with expectations to reach 7400 TWh by 2030. Despite its potential, several challenges must be addressed to help meet grid decarbonization targets. As wind energy adoption grows, issues like gearbox fatigue and leading-edge erosion need to be resolved to ensure a predictable supply of energy. For example, in the United States, wind turbines underperform by as much as 10 ..read more

Behavior Driven Chaos with AWS Fault Injection Simulator
AWS Architecture Blog
by Richard Whitworth
2M ago
A common challenge organizations face is how to gain confidence in and provide evidence for the continuous resilience of their workloads. Using modern chaos engineering principles can help in meeting this challenge, but the practice of chaos engineering can become complex. As a result, both the definition of the inputs and comprehension of the outputs of the process can become inaccessible to non-technical stakeholders. In this post, we will explore a working example of how you can build chaos experiments using human readable language, AWS Fault Injection Simulator (FIS), and a framework famil ..read more

SonarCloud, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) product developed by Sonar, seamlessly integrates into developers’ CI/CD workflows to increase code quality and identify vulnerabilities. Over the last few months, Sonar’s cloud engineers have worked on modernizing SonarCloud to increase the lead time to production. Following Domain Driven Design principles, Sonar split the application into multiple business domains, each owned by independent teams. They also built a unified API to expose these domains publicly. This blog post will explore Sonar’s design for SonarCloud’s unified API, utilizing Elastic ..read more

Converting stateful application to stateless using AWS services
AWS Architecture Blog
by Sarat Para
4M ago
Designing a system to be either stateful or stateless is an important choice with tradeoffs regarding its performance and scalability. In a stateful system, data from one session is carried over to the next. A stateless system doesn’t preserve data between sessions and depends on external entities such as databases or cache to manage state. Stateful and stateless architectures are both widely adopted. Stateful applications are typically simple to deploy. Stateful applications save client session data on the server, allowing for faster processing and improved performance. Stateful applications ..read more
