GroundTruth, an advertising platform leading the way in location- and behavior-based marketing, empowers brands to connect with consumers through real-world behavioral data to drive real business results. As our advertising platform scaled to process increased volume of ad requests and third-party segment ingestion, maintaining our Aerospike-based caching infrastructure introduced significant operational complexity and rising costs, while also compromising performance and limiting our ability to scale efficiently. To meet our requirements we implemented Amazon ElastiCache for Valkey, which streamlined our operations, improved reliability, and reduced costs. In this post, we walk through our migration journey, covering the migration strategy we adopted, the optimizations we made to reduce cost by 45%, reliability improvements including reducing write failures by 20x, and operational gains from managed service capabilities.

In this post, we explore advanced traffic routing patterns with the Kubernetes Gateway API through a practical Calendar web application example, demonstrating how it streamlines and standardizes application connectivity and service mesh integration in Kubernetes. The post covers three key use cases: exposing applications to external clients through hostname-based routing, implementing canary deployments between microservices using gRPC traffic splitting, and controlling egress traffic to external services with security policies.

AWS has expanded its Customer Carbon Footprint Tool (CCFT) to include Scope 3 emissions data alongside updated Scope 1 and 2 emissions, giving customers more insight into their carbon impact. The CCFT now tracks emissions from fuel- and energy-related activities (FERA), IT hardware, buildings, equipment, and transportation. AWS customers can access this information and track changes over time through the AWS Billing console.

As more organizations migrate their self-managed Db2 Linux-based workloads to Amazon RDS for Db2, migration teams are learning that preparation is key to avoiding project delays. Common roadblocks include outdated database versions, invalid objects, and improper storage configurations that surface migration process. In this post, we introduce a Db2 Migration Prerequisites Validation Tool that catches these issues before they impact your timeline. This tool performs thorough pre-migration validation and guides you through the necessary preparations for Amazon RDS for Db2.
