Shunting ions around with electricity could produce enough heat transfer to replace greenhouse gas compression in domestic refrigerators, according to the US Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBL). The technology has been dubbed ‘ionocaloric cooling’. While warming and cooling a solid, liquid or gas can be used to shift some heat, much more can be shifted …

Today, AWS AppConfig announces new options for customers to track and clean up stale feature flags. Previously, customers needed to build their own schedules for managing stale feature flags. Now, customers can do this through AWS AppConfig. Feature flagging is a powerful technique that allows engineering teams to change application behavior on production without pushing out new code. By using feature flags, engineers can develop new capabilities, but hide them behind a feature flag configuration. Once ready to launch, AWS AppConfig allows you to roll flags out slowly. However, a common pain point with feature flags is the management of stale or unused flags. After a feature is launched, the flag may no longer be needed and becomes stale. Stale flags add clutter to your application code and configuration, and can make debugging your application challenging. Cleaning up unused flags improves application hygiene.

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for MariaDB now supports Optimized Reads for up to 2X faster query processing compared to previous generation instances. Optimized Read-enabled instances achieve faster query processing by placing temporary tables generated by the MariaDB server on the NVMe SSD-based block-level instance storage that’s physically connected to the host server. Complex queries that utilize temporary tables, such as queries involving sorts, hash aggregations, high-load joins, and Common Table Expressions (CTEs) can now execute up to 2X faster with Optimized Reads on RDS for MariaDB.

You can now use data tiering for Amazon ElastiCache for Redis as a lower cost way to scale your clusters to up to hundreds of terabytes of capacity in the Europe (Stockholm) Region. Data tiering provides a new price-performance option for Redis workloads by utilizing lower-cost solid state drives (SSDs) in each cluster node in addition to storing data in memory. It is ideal for workloads that access up to 20% of their overall dataset regularly, and for applications that can tolerate additional latency when accessing data on SSD.
