Unless you've asked for a limit increase _multiple_ times, I can guarantee you haven't reached the limit of step functions. The default limits are _very_ conservative in large regions (Admittedly, by the time you've asked for

Furthermore, the author mentions ClojureScript earlier in the piece. I've not done much frontend work, but I'm not sure ClojureScript aficionados would generally feel that TS has much benefit over JS when CLJS is in the picture as

This is only partly true. The foundational services do not use cfn for the vast majority of their deployments.

So you're now weighing the increased container pull time (due to size) vs the class load time you're saving through the cache. It's nice to at least have the option of making that tradeoff (And I suspect for plenty of applica

Prebuilding a cache through a training run will be difficult between lambda invocations though and snapstart[1] already "solves" a lot of the issues a class cache might address. [1] https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lamb

I think we actually agree with one another. Code freezes/deployment windows should be justified by business risk, not idealised always be pushing mentality. CDNs and cloud providers are a bit of a special case. AWS definitely has soft

Deployment freezes are (should be) completely normal and justifiable. Do you really think that Amazon is deploying (non-emergency/operational) code changes during BFCM or re:Invent? Or that Fox/CBS/NBC are deploying code chan

nit: Coral and smithy are not comparable. Coral is a schema definition language, yes. But it’s also a full rpc ecosystem. Smithy at this point is only really an IDL that (in most cases, at least before I left) is “only” used to generate Cor

Omitting an entire class of languages with a strong history in pedagogy damages my opinion of the article. No mention of Racket, Scheme or SICP!?

grep for .unwrap() and you now have a handy list of every (potential) “null ptr” deref in your rust codebase, try doing the same in Java. You’d need to grep for “.”, I’m sure that’ll be a nice short list

Ime, language “power” is usually used to describe the expressivity and flexibility of the language itself. As an extreme example, Starlark isn’t a powerful language, it isn’t even Turing complete afaik. This is advertised as a positive attr

I'm not sure I entirely agree in this circumstance. Normally I'd give the developers the benefit of the doubt. But the sheer number of issues, and how fundamental some of them ~were~ are[1] leave me little room for sympathy. http
