Amazon Managed Blockchain and many partners of AWS offer a convenient way to use Ethereum nodes without operating your own infrastructure. But sometimes, when you want to run archive nodes or participate in Ethereum staking, the managed nodes aren’t enough, and you may choose to run your own Ethereum nodes on AWS. To run a […]

This post is co-written with Peter Fein, Staff Engineer 2 at VMware VMware Tanzu CloudHealth, consolidated a multi-tenant, self-managed, 166-node sharded MySQL databases to Amazon Aurora MySQL-Compatible Edition and Amazon RDS Proxy. The goal was to support long-term, continuous, multi-factor data growth on their platform while improving reliability and simplifying operations. VMware Tanzu CloudHealth is […]

In this post, we guide you through the steps to setting up Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible Edition database activity streams (DAS) for monitoring in IBM Guardium. Here, we are using IBM Guardium version 11.5. Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible is a fully managed, PostgreSQL-compatible, ACID-compliant relational database engine that combines the speed, reliability, and manageability of Amazon Aurora with […]

Blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize how personal digital records are managed, stored, and shared, because it offers unique features such as immutability, transparency, security, and decentralization. The application possibilities of blockchain technology in the context of personal digital records encompass various potential use cases, including but not limited to: Create decentralized digital identity […]

When developing an application with Amazon DynamoDB, sometimes you want new items inserted into a table to have an ever-increasing sequence number. Some databases call this auto-increment and automatically populate the value on insert. Example use-cases could be giving a customer order or a support ticket a numeric identifier. DynamoDB doesn’t provide auto-increment as an […]

In scenarios such as consolidating or merging multiple departments with separate AWS accounts into a single AWS account, splitting a single account or divisions into multiple AWS accounts for better management, or duplicating an AWS account across Regions, you often need to migrate the database from one AWS account to another with minimal downtime and […]

Analyzing data originating on a blockchain can be a challenging and time-consuming process due to the complexity and variety of smart contract structures. This primary obstacle requires an in-depth understanding of the various platforms you wish to analyze. In the Web3 space, each protocol has their own way of storing and calling methods, making implementation […]

Migrating a Transparent Data Encryption (TDE)-enabled Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for Oracle database instance from one AWS account to another is a common use case in scenarios when you acquire, sell, or merge operations, or if you’re reorganizing your AWS accounts and organizational structure. TDE is a permanent and persistent option in RDS […]

Amazon DynamoDB is a key-value and document database that delivers single-digit millisecond performance at any scale. It’s a fully managed, multi-Region, multi-active, durable database with built-in security, backup and restore, and in-memory caching for internet-scale applications. In 2020, DynamoDB introduced a feature to export DynamoDB table data to Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) with […]

This post discusses the implementation details of an Ethereum smart contract CI/CD pipeline as outlined in a previous post, which is considered a prerequisite to the topics discussed in this post. Part 1 highlighted some of the challenges faced by a multi-developer team implementing a decentralized application (dApp) and how CI/CD can help address those […]
