The highlight of tech events this year was certainly AWS re:Invent. The conference was buzzing and so is the aftermath of it. There were strong reactions in the community about AWS strategy of commercializing over opensource software. In this piece, I will break down all the things you need to know about events that took place, services/products that were launched and how they will impact your business. AWS 2.0 – Partnerships and Channel Extension Keynotes by  Andy Jassy  and  Werner Vogels  is a clear evidence that AWS is going after enterprises and invested a lot into building enterprise grade hardware and partnerships. Amazon is getting serious about hybrid cloud. Evidence? It’s partnership with VMware. “A way to provide AWS services, like compute, like storage, on-premises but in a way that really seamlessly and constantly interacts with the rest of my applications and services in AWS” – Jassy  A product called AWS Outposts is the re...

Event–Driven Serverless Architecture Using AWS Lambda

If we think about computing in the Cloud Computing age, our mind is quickly drawn towards containers and virtual machines. For instance, during the development of a production environment with both approaches, we think about the need for upgrading the container and patching the OS. Amazon Web Services (AWS), at the end of the year 2014, announced a new service known as “Lambda” that enables us to focus on business logic rather than infrastructure.  Lambda is a serverless compute service that executes your code that is available in the cloud in response to events and accomplishes the entire administration of the computer services automatically. To better understand it, first, let’s understand what is serverless compute service and how does it work. What is Serverless Computing? An architecture where the execution of code is entirely managed by the provider of cloud, instead of the conventional method of building applications and deploying them on servers. It means devel...

Technology Drivers in 2018

The last couple of years have been crazy with the lot of innovation and buzz around Cloud Computing, Big Data, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence , and BlockChain. BigData has been there for a while, however, access to these technologies was limited and relatively expensive. Overall innovation in the public cloud has led to commodification these technologies. Today processing of a large amount of data in real time is much easier and cheaper. That means Machine Learning, AI, and IOT was not far away on the radar, today there isn’t much hassle to develop your own ML, AI and IOT product with managed offering like AWS Sagemaker and AWS IOT Suite Not just AWS but most of the cloud providers are building their offerings around below drivers and Yes! these are critical ones to build future-ready systems. Here is my list of 2018 Technology drivers Containerization Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence Internet of Things Conversational or Voice Enabled Syst...
