This feature thread tracks the deployment and optimization of Eclipse Dataspace Components (EDC) on AWS. Initial posts focused on fundamental data sharing architectures and production-ready deployment patterns. This post introduces architectural patterns for production-grade EDC connector deployments on AWS, detailing the use of Amazon ECS, AWS Fargate, Amazon Aurora, AWS Secrets Manager, Amazon Cognito, Amazon S3, and Amazon API Gateway for isolation, managed services, and security layering. It emphasizes operational excellence, security (defense in depth, least privilege, encryption), and reliability (fail fast, regional resilience, decoupled components) principles.

Eclipse Dataspace Components on AWS: Cost optimization strategies | Amazon Web Services

7/17/2026

This post details cost optimization strategies for deploying Eclipse Dataspace Components (EDC) on AWS. It analyzes cost drivers for EDC connector deployments, distinguishing between business-critical and non-critical workloads. Recommendations include rightsizing compute resources (Amazon ECS with Fargate/Fargate Spot), leveraging Amazon Aurora Serverless v2 for variable demand, and optimizing data transfer patterns. The post provides estimated monthly costs for both scenarios and discusses how to achieve significant cost reductions (up to 58%) by choosing appropriate instance types and configurations.
