Geospatial ETL pipelines prepare data for business analysis and insights, enabling leaders to make informed decisions. Learn how to migrate a geospatial pipeline to AWS Step Functions and AWS Batch to simplify pipeline management while improving performance and costs. Migrating to AWS Batch and AWS Step Functions has transformed the way WSP Digital handles data processing and orchestration, enabling streamlined and automated workflows.

Infor OS provides deep integration capabilities and includes Intelligent Open Network (ION), which is an interoperability and business process management platform designed to integrate applications, processes, people, and data to run your business. Infor ION enables you to easily integrate your Infor and non-Infor enterprise systems, whether they’re on-premises, in the cloud, or both. In this post, we discuss general scenarios and integration patterns while using ION.

Advanced Care Cloud is a SaaS solution running on AWS that provides care organizations of different sizes with the power to effectively manage their entire business from anywhere, at any time. Learn how Advanced used AWS Step Functions to orchestrate the solution’s onboarding process and data migration activities. We’ll also discuss the benefits Advanced achieved by leveraging Step Functions rather than building custom orchestration capability.

Traditional security approaches are often unable to detect and stop complex API attacks. It was for exactly this purpose that Salt Security was established in 2018. Salt’s founders have a unique patent to use big data and AI/ML that allows Salt to spearhead the growing industry of dedicated API security solutions. Learn how the Salt Security platform allows for the analysis of API traffic that exposes complex attacks, including those identified in the OWASP API Security Top 10 list.

Organizations have a requirement to implement data governance due to the presence of personally identifiable information. The process of sharing and operationalizing data movement becomes an involved task, as it must encompass data governance, data security, and include audit capabilities. Learn about a modern process LTIMindtree has introduced for data transfer using AWS Step Functions and for sharing transformed data to another account regardless of regional location.

The modern API lifecycle does not end once your CI/CD pipeline pushes a deployment to production and the API becomes available to clients. They still have to access documentation, try out different parts of the API, or get notifications about changes. API developer portals have become standard for businesses offering APIs to their partners and end users. Learn how to integrate ReadMe.com with Amazon API Gateway to make sure your documentation is up to date and gets changed every time you change the API.

Most applications require a form of identity service to manage, authenticate, and authorize users. In SaaS applications, multi-tenancy adds specific challenges to this task. To meet these needs, SaaS builders must consider integrating with an identity service provider. AWS services such as Amazon Cognito or AWS Partner services like Auth0 provide deep expertise in the field and allow you to focus on your SaaS application’s value proposition while relying on a secure, feature-rich identity provider.

Multi-region architectures improve latency for applications with global user bases and optimize RTO across the broadest set of potential failure events. However, creating and maintaining these architectures can add significant cost and complexity. Learn how to build and deploy a multi-region serverless application while minimizing cost and complexity using AWS Step Functions and Fauna, an AWS Partner and distributed document-relational database delivered as a cloud API.

Every SaaS architecture must introduce mechanisms and policies that prevent noisy neighbor conditions. Getting these policies right is essential to building a robust SaaS solution that delivers a consistent experience to customers. This post looks at the different strategies that can be used to introduce the throttles (transaction rate) and quotas (transaction volume) that manage each tenant’s activity, exploring the various AWS services that can be used to bring these concepts to life.

Explore a solution Contino built for a client to automate security scanning on software packages. This allowed developers to continue building, without added friction, and helped security teams be confident that vulnerabilities are discovered early and didn’t make their way to production. Learn about the context Contino was working with and the approach it took, and the technical challenges faced. After reading this post, you’ll understand how to develop a similar solution for your organization and some pitfalls to avoid.
