In today’s world, organizations are collecting an unprecedented amount of data from all kinds of different data sources, such as transactional data stores, clickstreams, log data, IoT data, and more. In many use cases, I have found that the data teams responsible for building the data pipeline don’t have any control of the source schema, and they need to build a solution to identify changes in the source schema in order to be able to build the process or automation around it. This might include various challenges as : Sending notifications of changes to the teams dependent on the source schema, building an auditing solution to log all the schema changes. Building an automation or change request process to propagate the change in the source schema to downstream applications such as an ETL tool or BI dashboard. Sometimes, to control the number of schema versions, you may want to delete the older version of the schema when there are no changes detected between it and the newer schema. t...

  Netflix is one of the world’s leading entertainment services with over 260 million members in more than 190 countries. Netflix uses AWS for nearly all its computing and storage needs, including databases, analytics, recommendation engines, video transcoding, and more—hundreds of functions that in total use more than 100,000 server instances on AWS. Key highlights of Netflix in AWS : 1)  Netflix Connects with 100 Million Customers in 190 Countries Using Amazon Simple Email Service. 2) Netflix Realizes Multi-Region Resiliency on Amazon Route 53. 3) Netflix Uses NICE DCV on AWS to Build VFX Studio in the Cloud for Artists Globally. 4) Netflix Empowers Remote Artistry with Low-Latency Workstations Using AWS Local Zones. With the new Amazon EC2 G5 instances, we can provision higher-end graphics workstations that offer up to 3x higher performance compared to workstations with EC2 G4dn instances. With G5 instances, content creators have the freedom to create more complex ...

Diagonal scaling as it relates to a database and/or cloud computing is precisely what it sounds like - combining the best of both vertical and horizontal scaling to better suit the needs of the organization. When implemented correctly, diagonal scaling enables you to handle more data and more users, ultimately enhancing efficiency and reducing bottlenecks.. In the database world, scaling typically refers to the process of adding more resources (such as servers, storage, or processing power) to handle increased data and workload demands. Common approaches to scaling databases include vertical scaling (adding more resources to a single server) and horizontal scaling (distributing the database across multiple servers). ‍ Diagonal or hybrid scaling can be a game-changer, offering a dynamic solution to the challenges related to fluctuating workloads. Unlike traditional vertical and horizontal scaling approaches, diagonal scaling provides the flexibility to adapt to changing demands seamless...

  A Network is a way of communication between devices. AWS Networking allows creating a fast, reliable, and secure network. To understand AWS Networking better, it is important to get familiar with all the Amazon services that create a network. IP — Address used to map requests to machines, can be public or private. VPC — A slice of the AWS cloud infrastructure Subnet – A portion of a larger network, usually a subnetwork of a VPC. Netmask — A way of denoting a range of IP used to splice up a network into subnets. Route Table — A set of rules that are assigned to a subnet which define how subnets communicate. Internet Gateway — An AWS resource that gives a subnet access to the public internet. Security group — Essentially a firewall that dictates which traffic (via protocols and ports) can access a resource. Lets see a basic application example which needs internet access running on EC2. So basic networking for this will be to define a VPC -->create subnets(public :- desti...
