Опубликовано 1 декабря 2016, 23:13

How does McGraw-Hill Education use the AWS platform to scale and reliably receive 10,000 learning events per second? How do we provide near-real-time reporting and event-driven analytics for hundreds of thousands of concurrent learners in a reliable, secure, and auditable manner that is cost effective? MHE designed and implemented a robust solution that integrates AWS API Gateway, AWS Lambda, Amazon Kinesis, Amazon S3, Amazon Elasticsearch Service, Amazon DynamoDB, HDFS, Amazon EMR, Amazopn EC2, and other technologies to deliver this cloud-native platform across the US and soon the world. This session describes the challenges we faced, architecture considerations, how we gained confidence for a successful production roll-out, and the behind-the-scenes lessons we learned.
