AWS offers three distinct API Gateway types, and choosing incorrectly leads to either unnecessary costs, missing features, or architectural dead ends. After building dozens of production APIs, this guide provides a decision framework based on real requirements, performance benchmarks, and cost analysis. We will deep-dive into when REST APIs justify their premium, when HTTP APIs […]

Azure Service Bus Premium tier provides enterprise-grade messaging with dedicated resources, large message support (up to 100MB), and VNET integration. Unlike the Standard tier (shared multi-tenant), Premium guarantees predictable performance for mission-critical workloads. This guide covers when to choose Premium, advanced features like Message Sessions and Duplicate Detection, and patterns for high-throughput financial transaction processing. […]

Amazon EventBridge is the central nervous system of modern AWS architectures. It is a serverless event bus that routes events between AWS services, SaaS applications, and your own microservices. Unlike SQS (point-to-point) or SNS (fan-out), EventBridge provides content-based routing, schema registry, and archive/replay capabilities. This guide covers architectural patterns, advanced filtering, cross-account routing, and production […]

Observability in serverless is challenging. Lambda functions execute in ephemeral environments, making traditional APM tools ineffective. AWS Lambda Powertools for .NET provides structured logging, distributed tracing, and custom metrics out of the box—implementing AWS Well-Architected best practices without boilerplate. This guide covers installation, configuration, and production patterns for each Powertools utility. The Observability Challenge in […]

Single Table Design (STD) is the most controversial and misunderstood DynamoDB pattern. The premise: store all entity types in one table, use generic partition and sort keys, and leverage Composite Primary Keys and GSIs for access patterns. When done correctly, STD eliminates N+1 queries, reduces costs, and simplifies IAM. When done incorrectly, it creates debugging […]

The Azure Functions Premium Plan (EP1, EP2, EP3) eliminates the pain points of the Consumption plan: cold starts, 10-minute timeouts, and limited VNET connectivity. However, Premium comes at a significant cost premium, and choosing incorrectly can result in either poor performance or wasted spend. This guide provides a data-driven approach to deciding when Premium makes […]
