Sky is the Limit: Is Technology a Game-changer? DO METRICS matter? My scientific pathway up to the top of the mountain by climbing the executive and leadership ladder of success from Teacher, Educator, Professor, Accountant, Auditor, CFO, CEO, Manager, to Executive Board of Director and a Global Servant Leader with business and digital acumen. I am thankful to my MOM and DAD as my leadership role models. And I am grateful for their character, empathy, core ethical values, and exceptional leadership skills as two highly successful entrepreneurs, business leaders, strategists, and critical thinkers. 1) Why Companies Are Taking a More Holistic Approach to Talent Acquisition Leadership in the digital age of change and disruptive era of artificial intelligence (AI) emerging technology? 2) Beyond Ambitious Ideas and Organization’s Strategic Plan: Does Artificial Intelligence (AI) have the potential to help organizations save millions, billions, and even trillions of dollars? 4) How to turn Vision into Bold Action? By harnessing Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) responsibly, we can close digital divide, bridge digital skill gaps, and unlock human potential to build a better future.

On Prime Day 2022, Amazon Search was able to serve 84,000 requests per second. This crucial web site feature is built on top more than 40 backend services, each owned by a specific two-pizza team. In this post, my colleage Seth Eliot talks about our DevOps culture, and focuses on how the Search Resilience team created a scalable process for the use of Chaos Engineering so that each team could create and run their own chaos experiments using #AWS Fault Injection Simulator, with experiments scheduled via Amazon EventBridge Scheduler.

🚀 AWS Step Functions: Standard vs. Express Workflows 🚀 . By talking to many developers, I observed that the majority is not aware that there are two types of StepFunction Workflows. . So, as I have already written some posts this week about StepFunctions, I decided to shed light on this one too! . . Let's dive into what sets them apart and when you might want to use each. . . . 🐢 Standard Workflows: The Marathon Runner . Standard workflows are the go-to for reliability and long-running processes. . Here's why they're amazing: 1️⃣ Long Duration: They can run up to a year, making them perfect for workflows that require human intervention or extended processing times. . 2️⃣ State Persistence: They maintain state for up to a year, which is invaluable for debugging and tracking. . 3️⃣ Consistency: They offer exactly-once execution, ensuring each step is reliably processed. . . . 🐆 Express Workflows: The Speedy Sprinter On the flip side, Express workflows are designed for speed and high-volume workloads. . 1️⃣ High Throughput: Ideal for jobs that need to be processed quickly and in large volumes. . 2️⃣ Short-Lived: They run for up to five minutes, focusing on efficiency and rapid execution. . 3️⃣ Cost-Effective: Generally, they are more cost-effective for high-volume, short-duration tasks. . . 🔥 Choosing the Right Tool for the Job Opt for Standard when you need robust, long-running processes with state persistence. . Choose Express for high-throughput, short-duration tasks where cost and speed are priorities. #aws #stepfunctions #awscommunity

This is interesting, reminds me of our attempts to build a solution for on demand load tests in #zalando payments.

📢 Exciting news! AWS has just launched Guardrails in preview, a tool designed to help companies implement safeguards for LLMs (Large Language Models).
