- 5InfoQ·7/13/2026framework_updateRemoving Hidden Pre-Flight Calls from a Multi-Region AWS API
An InfoQ article describes how a team uncovered a hidden pre-flight discovery call embedded in every client session, which had become an obstacle to global failover in a multi-region AWS API. The piece explains why the call had to be removed, along with the rollout process and its operational cost.
- 4InfoQ·7/10/2026framework_updateTrade-offs in Multi-Region Architectures
The article outlines a practical framework for deciding when and how to add cloud regions, emphasizing that latency and cost cannot be judged by simple formulas alone. It recommends decomposing latency budgets, selecting deployment patterns based on consistency and traffic, and optimizing routing before expanding infrastructure; one phased rollout reduced latency by 35% through routing alone.
