Amazon EventBridge expands support to all Regions, except for AWS GovCloud (US) and China, as a destination for its cross-Region event bus as a target functionality launched in April’2021 (initially launched with 3 destination Regions – US East (N. Virgina), US West (Oregon) and Europe(Ireland)). This will allow customers to consolidate events in one central Region from any Region. This makes it easier for customers to centralize their events for auditing and monitoring purposes or replicate events from source to destinations Regions to help synchronize data across Regions. 

AWS Lambda has launched a new metric, OffsetLag, to monitor the performance of Amazon MSK, Self-managed Kafka, AmazonMQ, and RabbitMQ message queueing services. Up until now, Lambda users did not have visibility into how polling runs and had to increasingly rely on the Lambda support team to resolve delays in processing, leading to inefficiencies in data streaming. The OffsetLag metric is a measure of the total number of messages waiting in the message queue to be sent to the target Lambda function. This metric will provide transparency into the amount of data congestion in a message queue. Thus, developers can monitor the performance of events, set alarms and thresholds to check for undesirable congestion and quickly diagnose and solve inefficiencies in their data stream.

It’s a damn good laugh watching the Continentals with their knickers in a twist over whether and how to invest in the chip business. Their problem is that nearly all their decision makers are people who are used to doing easy work – economists, writers of strategy papers, theoretical planners, dealers in words – and …

Researchers from the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology in Korea have investigated the atomic structure of the perovskite material SrTiO3. The material is one of the most popular substrates for growing oxide films. The researchers used ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AP-XPS), and low energy electron diffraction (LEED), to investigate how fabrication conditions (annealing …

It is a sine qua non nowadays that it takes more than being the best chip to win the market but back in 1974, not everyone realised it. One who did was Bill Davidow who, in his  seminal study of chip marketing – Marketing High Technology, wrote: “The Intel 8080 was the most complete microcomputer …
