Cloud Infrastructure

AWS Databases

Amazon Aurora

• Introducing the Aurora Storage Engine [ADVANCED LEVEL] [ENTERPRISE-STABLE] — An architectural deep-dive into the specialized, log-structured distributed storage engine of Amazon Aurora. Details how it decouples computing from database storage, replicating blocks six ways across three availability zones.

Amazon RDS

Databases

NoSQL

• Let’s Architect! Architecting with Amazon DynamoDB [ADVANCED LEVEL] [ENTERPRISE-STABLE] — Curator Insight presents an architectural masterclass on schema design and partitioning in Amazon DynamoDB. Live Grounding verifies the recommendations cover single-table design, global secondary indexes (GSIs), and write-sharding strategies. It is an indispensable guide for engineers building highly scalable, low-latency microservices.

Serverless Architecture

• Amazon RDS Proxy – Now Generally Available [SPANISH CONTENT] [DE FACTO STANDARD] — Curator Insight presents Amazon RDS Proxy as a managed solution to handle high database connection concurrency. Live Grounding validates that RDS Proxy multiplexes connections, bypassing the performance degradation caused by high serverless (AWS Lambda) spin-up events. A critical integration pattern for cloud-native microservices. [SPANISH CONTENT]

Cloud Native

Kubernetes Operators

Managed Databases

• itnext.io: Manage Redis on AWS from Kubernetes [ADVANCED LEVEL] [COMMUNITY-TOOL] — Curator Insight describes how to manage AWS ElastiCache for Redis directly from Kubernetes. Live Grounding highlights using AWS Controllers for Kubernetes (ACK) or Crossplane to define managed Redis instances as custom resources (CRDs).
