I just bought @alexbdebrie's new DynamoDB book off gumroad, you should too, it's got everything you need to master DynamoDB, one of the most important services in #aws. And it's the last day to get the launch price and save 20%! dynamodbbook.com

Some people asked me how AWS employees prepare for certifications. We do have a ton of great learning materials on aws.amazon.com/training/ Also, a lot of my colleagues (+me) like @acloudguru and @linuxacademyCOM.

Wrote a post on health checks, the perils of treating it as a binary state, the need for adaptive feedback loops and effective backpressure.
Also why HAProxy style agent-checks are a fantastic pattern for getting started with this form of control loops.

"Kafka Streams in Action" by @bbejeck will be release soon. A must read for all @apachekafka and @kafkastreams folks. Exciting to see @nehanarkhede writing a foreword!
Before @kafkastreams in Action by @bbejeck comes out next month, read the foreword by @nehanarkhede featured in today's post. If you're interested interested in building real-time apps and #microservices, this book is a great way to get started!
