INSIGHT

Evolving Definition of Compute

  • Compute is evolving beyond simply virtual machines and encompasses business logic, orchestration, and integrations.
  • Modern architectures, particularly serverless, aim to reduce custom compute in favor of managed services.
ADVICE

Offload to Managed Services

  • Offload tasks like orchestration, data transformation, and event handling to managed services to reduce custom code.
  • Leverage services like Step Functions, EventBridge, API Gateway, and Lambda to simplify development and push responsibility to AWS.
ADVICE

Develop a Selection Methodology

  • Adopt a technology selection methodology to guide compute choices and minimize bias.
  • This promotes shared understanding and informed decisions, aligning the team and reducing emotional baggage.
