Key considerations for security, scalability, and monitoring
When using QLDB, it is essential to consider several factors to ensure the security, scalability, and monitoring of solutions that rely on data stored in QLDB. In this section, we will present key considerations to adopt for the following:
- Security: How to secure a QLDB instance by configuring IAM policies and roles, enabling encryption at rest using AWS KMS, and using secure communication channels such as HTTPS and VPC endpoints
- Scaling: How to design the data model and queries to optimize performance and manage the load on a QLDB instance, allowing it to scale automatically with the application’s requirements
- Monitoring: How to monitor a QLDB instance using AWS CloudWatch and the QLDB console to track performance metrics, identify issues, and take appropriate action when needed
By implementing the following best practices, we can ensure that an application based on QLDB remains secure, scalable...
