A good write up, thanks. I remember a configuration change being rolled out by an automated system caused a problem on GCP a few years ago, it's an interesting area that's probably quite hard to fix

One thing I find terrible about PDFs is when organisations embed useful data in them, in tables or graphs. Usually in the context of an annual report, or study, or some sort of policy document. They look great printed on paper, but not very

I stopped using instapaper a few years ago, I found their HTML parsing didn't play well with articles that had code in or used <pre> tags. Might be much better these days but I can't try it out again because they've blo

I'm working on a ticket at the moment that involves a lot of refactoring work to support a new feature. In the initial run on this code base we went a bit unit test crazy, which was fine at the time, but I'm seeing the drawbacks n

The delay isn't fixed though, it's dynamic and can drift.

Ah concurrents. In this case the stream went down in the last 5 minutes of the match, which is still bad, but not as bad as YouTube TV earlier this week! https://twitter.com/YouTubeTV/status/1017121393857556485

The interesting element of the online streaming is the rise of people watching on their phones/tablets, where getting a traditional OTA signal isn't possible.

It also depends on what your business problem is. If it's just doing simple ETL then it's probably OK, but if you need to do aggregations on the data, you're going to have a bad time, or end up implementing some sort of ersat

We used to run an architecture similar to this a few years ago, I work for a broadcaster and unfortunately it failed badly during a big event. The Kinesis stream was adequately scaled, but the poller between Kinesis -> Lambda just couldn

We considered it, but at the time we just felt implementing map/reduce over Lambda would just introduce a more complex architecture for such a simple problem. Maybe the recently introduced SQS->Lambda support might make it a bit cle

This seems pretty neat if you have the infrastructure already, removes a lot of the busy work around creating docker images etc, and from the looks of the instructions it looks like you don't even need Docker installed to create the im

That's exactly what we were doing. 1 Lambda to download and aggregate all files under a prefix. The problem was the task just couldn't complete in < 5 minutes.

by djhworld 8y ago
Nah, I think the scope is wider then that. In my case we use lambda to perform ETL based on S3 events, so when a file drops into S3, Lambda is invoked to process it. That works very well for us and is cheaper than running a box 24x7, as the

I remember a few years ago we tried to implement a scheduled Lambda that needed to download a bunch of files from an S3 prefix, perform some aggregation on the data and then write the result to a database. Our EC2 prototype of this on one o
