Very exciting announcement at AWS re:Invent :) I'm personally very hyped for using Haskell natively on Lambda! In the keynote he mentions the partner sponsored runtimes, and actually said "Scala and Haskell, you'll just have

Quite excited for this! We have currently been experimenting with using DynamoDB, and managing our own rollups of our incoming data (previously on an RDS, which is not a good choice for this kind of data). --- I've seen a lot of people

We're already doing this, but unfortunately this doesn't work well when you are expecting lots of parallel calls, and various times. The obvious solution would be to just merge microservices into the same lambda, but then we'

We are using Node.js. From what I’ve seen online, Python should be the fastest though. Edit: wanted to add, that from what I’ve gathered from people testing online, bundle size didn’t really matter, but perhaps someone else has some informa

The VPC startup times are insane, so we quickly move our lambdas out of that, accepting the trade off. Our normal cold starts are in the 1-2 second range, and the app initialization comes after. Too high for an API facing users :/

I really hope this helps with the cold start times on Lambda. We were currently looking heavily into moving our API from Lambda to EKS, but if this impacts cold start times, I think we will look at how it ends up looking like in practice.

Fair enough, I seemed to have missed the background part from > An app is considered "in use" when you're actively using it in the foreground, or when it's in use in the background, which the status bar will indicate.

No. That would quite literally be the “Always” setting... For example, for Messenger to share live location, it needs location sharing to be always, and not just “While using”. With while using though, you are still able to share a pin poin

Eh, it's not anything like it. German is very different from English, especially in the way you position the verbs. It's a rather silly example, with one word. Following that logic, French would be a lot easier for anything Englis

It is most definitely not an out of date stereo type that (a looot of) French people are not particularly fond of English. Go to any university and you’d be surprised about the amount of students that don’t speak English, or can just muster

I'm not really sure what you're trying to get at? While, sure, Haskell excels at making (e)DSLs, it's far from the only usage for it. For web development it's quite good as well, a long with a ton of other areas. There a

That's cool. I've quickly learned that I much more enjoy scrapping redundant code and relying even more on the type system, with things like Higher-kinded types, GADTs, etc. Elm for me fills the niche of stepping stone into Pure F

As far as I know, ports are strictly asynchronous, compared to native code, which can be synchronous. This means that if you are using native code for something that is 100% synchronous, you now have to go through a huge hassle of every cal

I think there’s a very weird mismatch between the way the core language people are pushing for the adoption of the language, and then at the same time they will turn around and say “we’ll, it’s not even 1.0, yet, so what’d you expect”. The
