This is an amazing post on building a cloud product. While I was reading I was thinking “how did they get around the IAM role limits with dedicated roles” and they even touched on how they used a cellular architecture.
I wish there was a little more info on the team size and which parts took the most engineering effort to build.
- zinclozenge 4y agoCellular architecture is a complexity trap that's 100% not worth it unless you're a cloud provider, or Confluent size. I've been at DBaaS companies that wanted to do it and instead ended up with the worst of all worlds. With that said, it sounds like they went with a simpler design than what is described in the AWS article they linked in their blog post. It just sounds like they're able to spin up multiple data plane cells per region, which is what every DBaaS provider needs to do.
