If "Enter Sandman" comes up in your playlist and you need to write some code that does it justice:
Allow only authorized users to invoke an AWS Lambda with a UI straight from your docs with 4 lines of code and no deployments? Insanity! godspeed.run
So long Twitter, thanks for all the democracy! I'll probably lurk, comment and like here still, but if you are jonesing for my troublemaking, candid hat shots, serverless content or 🍌 facts, follow me on the double winged site or the beyond stoked site.
Lambda should just do a proactive initialization after deployment. Seems like a simple way of getting rid of 1 coldstart, I always invoke soon after I deploy.
TIL airplane headrests have a sport mode. Is this on all planes? I've never tried folding in the sides before.
See you tomorrow at GitHub Universe '24. I have small sticky things and a few $2 bills if you prefer non-sticky paper.
Good times playing chamber music on Angel Island today. You're lucky you can't smell these pictures, the fishy stank coming off the bay went extra hard.
Stop what you're doing and go to a concert at Red Rocks amphitheater in Morrison Colorado. I give it the Nobel prize for vibes. So much energy radiating from those rocks! Even the raccoons agree!
If you are new to wide events and they haven't clicked yet, read this article. Jeremy provides a great prescription for what to log and how to use wide events to answer questions.
There have been some good posts on what "wide events" instrumentation is but not as many on how to go about it, what attributes you should add, or how to work with OpenTelemetry
I put everything I've learned in the last few years into one guide jeremymorrell.dev/blog/a-pra…
New blog where I continue my odyssey with CloudFront Functions. This time I use them to emit metrics to get a better picture of my end user latencies speedrun.nobackspacecrew.com…
Only a warlock like Aaron can rebrand a "starter kit" as "mastering" and get away with it.
🎉 MasteringPostgres.com is finally live in early access!
There are currently 96 videos—around 11 hours of dense content. Even more coming soon!
With the help of @xata, we have put a massive amount of work into this to help you level up your career.
I hope you love it!
In 60 minutes @deeheber and I will be recklessly driving a bus through the streets of LA on a speedrun against time. Join the livestream to ride shotgun, or steal a copter and attempt the speedrun yourself. youtube.com/watch?v=B3Is6ArF…
We did it! Danielle is a solid bus driver under pressure. It took a little while to get on the freeway, but once underway, and with speedrun.cc we went full-on Keanu and deftly juked through lambda, dynamo, cloudwatch and s3 to defuse the bomb. Fun all around!
There are 3 things I miss going from serverless framework to CDK.
1. Sane resource names
2. Interpolated stage based variables
3. No random lambdas for functionality deployed in your account
I can workaround 1 and 2, but 3 really should be hosted by the CDK team.
Yesterday was a supercut of fist pumps. Migrated prod from Serverless V3 to the CDK and from API Gateway to CloudFront. All the resources successfully imported to the new CloudFormation stacks without drift. Chased it with a zero downtime DNS cutover. Still got it!
I built an escape room and @deeheber is going to use speedrun.cc to escape from it. You will only use the edge of your seat. Livestream October 4th.
5 days to go! Get ready for the Speedrun: Escape Room Challenge with @rooToTheZ and @deeheber. Mark your calendars! google.com/calendar/event?ei…
