You hear wildly different takes on this depending on the source. Troy hunt had a (now seemingly deleted) article where he claimed you have to be targeting EU users specifically, ie offering products in a european currency, EU domain, eu lan

Something I wonder reading this, hopefully some wireless experts can answer. In theory does locationsmart even need to onboard all telcos for this? Most smartphones have the hardware to talk to all telcos now, and in emergency situations th

The most obvious limitation is the scale out concurrency model of lambda (serial requests within a container). This is great for simplicity but means you can’t have a connection pool. Something like dynamo db is a better fit if it works for

It's a strange choice to use Souq.com as the target here. They could have used any AWS customer but chose to use one owned by Amazon. It probably is genuinely one of the biggest Middle East customers on AWS but going this way would rea

Its surprising AWS hasn't tried to open a Russian region yet. All the arguments about compromise of the data centres etc can also be made even more so for China (which is both a more sophisticated opponent and one that literally forces

A key difference is in kms you never know the actual secret (kms stores this on your behalf) . This is for use cases where you need the secret in application code, like db creds. Looks like a cool product I noticed they dont include a revok

With UberEats its transparent when pooling is happening (they tell you the driver is completing another delivery first). It works pretty well. UberEats is actually very expensive compared to GrubHub etc, so if anyone is making money its pro

The wildcard here is acquisitions. Large companies make a lot of acquisitions, it can be one of the only ways to grow some companies. Each acquisitions brings its own potentially locked in cloud ecosystem. Large competent software companies

Maybe they should offer an Amazon weighted fund, that invests based in your personal consumption, ie if you buy a lot of Gillette razers then buy some Gillette shares.

Not an original thought but its fascinating how much extra information Amazon has in these acquisitions than a normal company. When such a big part of Ring's sales are through amazon they can figure out things like * How many people se

Lambda recently added customizable concurrency limits per function which was partly to address the "function cycle" issue, ie at least your costs wont blow out too quickly. The classic example of this is a function subscribed to S

The end of this post mortem was a bit handwavy TBH. I feel like they didnt dig deep enough, and the problem was the backup VIP, not the two processes crashing at once and the backup VIP. I think by still allowing the backup VIP to run on th

Does ATT have an alternate asset? As far as I know they dont run a cable network or a significant fttp network so I dont see why they would remove any broadband customers. Dial up and landline only customers I can see being moved to LTE.

Has any city / company tried to build such a network since docsis 3.1 became available? Google seems to have basically given up. This will likely be a disaster for any city that tries, Comcast will just undercut them with higher speeds
