MongoDB (and Atlas) vs DynamoDB - 8 Basic Comparisons

Both DynamoDB and MongoDB are NoSQL databases, but the similarities probably end there. In this article, we cover their strengths and weaknesses in 8 basic categories, so that you can decide which one suits best your needs. While the data model behind Mongo is more flexible for storage and retrieval, Dynamo is stronger in terms of scalability, consistent performance under heavy load, and infrastructure abstraction.

Serverless Well-Architected - Reconciling Resilience and Cost-Optimization

We recently wrote about the reasons why serverless apps fail and explored some ideas to make architectures more resilient and scalable. Some of these architectural designs can become expensive if we don’t consider the financial impacts of architectural decisions. With proper care and consideration to this aspect, it is possible to achieve the same value in terms of scalability and resiliency while keeping costs at a manageable level.

BAM to achieve end to end visibility in a Azure Serverless Application

Looking for an end to end visibility on your Serverless Application made with Azure resources? This article is for you. Consider there is a transaction between the Azure Services. With the existing solutions offered by Azure, you cannot have the visibility on the transaction as well as the stages in the transactions. Here comes the Business Activity Monitoring in Serverless360. With a simple scenario, we will see how to use Business Activity monitoring and track business data.

What does Serverless have in common with Nutella and Why it is Here to Stay

There is an interesting discussion going on around how Serverless is more of a spectrum rather than a binary choice. The move towards the Serverless-end of the cloud spectrum builds upon a decades-old trend, which is why Serverless is here to stay.

Encrypt Azure Service Bus Data at REST using User Keys

Azure Service Bus messages may contain sensitive business information. This sensitive information should be accessible only to the intended receivers of the message. This information must be protected from the attackers when the messages are in transit and at rest. This blog will brief you how Azure handles the default encryption of data at rest and how we can use our own keys to encrypt the Service Bus data at transit.
