I really love Vaughters comments on the doping testing that’s happened this tour. That guy is class. Super happy for that teams success, Carapaz has made the past few days entertaining as hell. Go EF!

DST is why most Americans wake by alarm in darkness. Permanent Standard Time would let us sleep longer and awaken naturally to sunlight, for health!

In a less imperfect world, Musk and Trump would be forever cast as killers of children, and this would be front-page news for months and the subject of Sunday sermons in every church.

Two new projects from BCU Labs! 🔸 Bike Stress Map - view Boston's streets mapped by comfort level! 🔸 Landways Map - what would Camberville's bike network look like as an MBTA map?

Lots always going on in the world of #serverless! Catch up on recent product launches, feature enhancements, blog posts, videos, live streams, and other interesting things that you might have missed in our recent: Serverless ICYMI 2025 Q1 blog post: aws.amazon.com/blogs/comput...

Folks at MIT Sloan looked at multiple studies of return to office (RTO) mandates & found they are lose-lose-lose. No reward from Wall Street for “getting tough,” an actual decrease in productivity & revenue, and loss of top talent. youtu.be/4ec_yZCWOCY...

Update (for whom it may concern): in the Web UI you can disable it and apparently it sticks if you come back to the page...just to see that not even 24h later it's enabled again. Downloading archive now, I'm done...

Continuing with the theme of "right tool for the right job," my second re:Invent session this week was on deploying AWS serverless services with Kubernetes APIs! ☸️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmJG...

This is somehow not an understatement. I'm so stoked to see this launch! A brand new purpose-built database that truly delivers on what it promises: simple unlimited scalability of NoSQL, global strong consistency (Atomic Clocks > CAP Theorem), but with PostgreSQL compatibility. 🤯

New blog post, with my personal take on our launch of Amazon Aurora DSQL: brooker.co.za/blog/2024/12...

Although I'm not a Kafka user, I'm very interested in this new capability for Lambda Event Source Mappings - they now have a Provisioned Mode which allows you to set a minimum and maximum number of pollers. Pricing is based on Event Poller Units (EPUs).

Users consistently tell us that managing the flow of state data in #stepfunctions workflows is hard. We've improved over the years, but this is a game-changer. JSONata is powerful & intuitive. Variables simplify by decoupling states. Can't wait to see what you build! aws.amazon.com/blogs/comput...

Calling all Amazon ECS developers that are going to be at reInvent! Let me buy you breakfast! The ECS team is looking to have a sit down and learn about how you develop on ECS. We want to know what is working and what needs improvement. DM me if you are interested and I'll get you an invitation!

Serious updates to #AWSStepFunctions! Step Functions now offers JSONata support and state machine level variables! This is huge! Check it out here! youtu.be/aoKt7Aw2a1I?...

Great to have @dcrainmaker.com on the Geek Warning pod this week, talking about whatever the hell Strava is up to. It's like a big independent media hug for your ears, listen here or wherever you get your pods: escapecollective.com/geek-warning...

This came my way. Long read, but in essence Strava shutting down open APIs & connectivity with other platforms: 1. Do they think their training platform is best in class? It’s not. 2. The world is going open APIs. Why swim against the tide? 3. No more roastings..! www.dcrainmaker.com/2024/11/stra...

One of the most valuable things about Strava for me is its connections to other apps like TrainerRoad and many others. Strava's new changes aim to kill that. I've been a paying Strava user for years but if they go through with this I will be canceling. www.dcrainmaker.com/2024/11/stra...

Issue #306 of Off-by-none is out! This week, AWS #Lambda turns 10 years old, DynamoDB announces a massive price cut, and #serverless Python and .NET get snappy. Plus, we recognize @monicaontech.bsky.social as our ⭐️ of the week! #offbynone offbynone.io/issues/306/

If you'll be at AWS re:Invent, make plans to visit the BuilderCards play area on Level 1 of Caesar's Forum: Sun - 10 AM to 6 PM Mon - 9 AM to 5 PM Tue - 9 AM to 5 PM Wed - 9 AM to 5 PM Thu - 9 AM to 4 PM Play against other attendees and also a chance to get your own game to take home.

Cool to see AWS Lambda SnapStart is now available for Python and .NET functions (aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/aw...). Interested in learning how snapstart works? Read on!

Want to discover #serverless and application integration things at #reInvent? See our handy guide. Sessions and where to find parties included!

#serverless development with #stepfunctions often involves using #workflowstudio to experiment and refine something new until you're ready to integrate it into your project. That step is now easier to do with export to #sam or #cloudformation aws.amazon.com/about-aws/wh...

ARE YOU F*ING KIDDING ME? DynamoDB on-demand throughput got a 50% price cut, effective immediately. FIFTY PERCENT. wtaf.

We love to talk about new features, but it’s awesome to share work on what we call fundamentals. Enormous amount of passion and engineering innovation to drive these #eventbridge latency improvements that open up more use cases for #eventdrivenarchitectures on #aws ! aws.amazon.com/about-aws/wh...
