API World + CloudX + Dev Innovation Summit 2024

Shantanu Kumar, Amazon, Senior Software Engineer

Join us for a deep dive into the intricacies of building resilient and hyper-scalable multi-tenant SaaS applications on AWS, illustrated through the development of Amazon's groundbreaking Buy with Prime service. This session will explore the challenges faced and innovative solutions implemented to create a robust, secure, and flexible multi-tenant architecture.

Our expert presenter, a Buy with Prime team member, will share valuable insights and best practices gathered from their extensive experience. You will learn about the importance of tenant-aware resource management, which ensures flexibility and security by effectively isolating tenants and addressing noisy neighbor issues. Discover the critical role of implementing throttling mechanisms at multiple layers (API, application, downstream resources) to protect service availability and performance, preventing any single tenant from overloading the system.

We will also delve into the necessity of robust testing for multi-tenancy, highlighting the need for comprehensive test cases that cover optimistic scenarios and critical failure cases to validate tenant isolation and security measures. Additionally, the session will cover comprehensive monitoring and telemetry tools like AWS CloudWatch, which provide visibility into system behavior and enable quick identification and resolution of issues such as noisy neighbors.

Furthermore, the session will discuss the benefits of designing an architecture that separates customer-facing layers from backend services. This separation enhances flexibility and scalability, allowing for independent development and efficient handling of diverse customer needs and traffic demands.

This session is a must-attend for developers, infrastructure specialists, project managers, and anyone involved in building or managing SaaS applications. You'll gain practical knowledge and actionable strategies to tackle common SaaS challenges and create secure, scalable applications that meet diverse customer requirements. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from the experts behind Amazon's Buy with Prime and elevate your SaaS development skills to the next level.
