Join Simon Elisha and Dr. Werner Vogels, as they kick off a new mini-series, "The Frugal Architect," with Dan Conti, whose journey from the constrained world of embedded systems to WeTransfer's cloud architecture is a masterclass in frugal innovation. In his early career, Dan wrestled with MP3 players where 48K of RAM was a luxury. This experience cultivated a deep appreciation for efficiency that would prove crucial at WeTransfer. As CTO, Dan applied this resourceful mindset to cloud computing, where easy scaling often masked hidden waste. His team's efforts to optimize storage, improve observability, and align technology with environmental values showcased that in the cloud, frugality isn't about penny-pinching—it's about squeezing every ounce of value from your architecture -- and doing it sustainably.

In this episode, Jillian and Vrajesh Prajapati, Solutions Architect at AWS, discuss the importance of establishing a resiliency baseline for applications. They cover the three pillars of resiliency: disaster recovery, high availability, and continuous improvement. Vrajesh introduces the AWS Resiliency Lifecycle Framework, which consists of five stages: set objectives, design and implement, pre-deployment and post-deployment activities, operations, and response and learning. They also discuss different disaster recovery architecture patterns, such as backups and restores, pilot light, warm standby, and multi-site active-active. The conversation concludes with a discussion on monitoring resiliency and the importance of incident analysis and correction of errors.

Simon is joined by Stephen Liedig to discuss the evolution of serverless technology and its impact on application development, exploring benefits like scalability, cost optimization, and faster dev cycles. They delve into key services and concepts in serverless design, including state machines, event-driven architectures, and observability, highlighting the flexibility and optimization opportunities offered by serverless architecture.
- Get started with AWS Serverless (https://aws.amazon.com/serverless) and Application Integration (https://aws.amazon.com/products/application-integration) on the AWS website.
- Visit Serverless Land (https://serverlessland.com/) to get the latest information, blogs, videos, code, and learning resources for AWS Serverless. Learn to use and build apps that scale automatically on low-cost, fully-managed serverless architecture.
- Implement Serverless best practices and increase your developer velocity with Powertools for AWS (https://powertools.aws.dev/)
- Learn by doing! Check out the Serverless Patterns Workshop (https://catalog.workshops.aws/serverless-patterns) to build your first serverless microservice to retrieve data from DynamoDB with Lambda and API Gateway.
- Dive even deeper with the Serverless Developer Experience workshop (https://catalog.workshops.aws/serverless-developer-experience) to get hands on experience leveraging serverless application integration patterns, event-driven architectures and orchestration! -

Join Simon as he discusses the use of high-performance computing (HPC) in the financial services industry, particularly for risk modeling and regulatory reporting. Alex Kimber, a principal technologist at AWS, explains how financial firms leverage HPC to run millions of scenarios to measure and manage risks like credit, market, and actuarial risks. The workloads are "embarrassingly parallel," allowing for massive scalability in the cloud. Kimber also discusses AWS services and architectures that enable these HPC workloads, including the HTC Grid, a blueprint for a simple, high-throughput scheduler on AWS.
