While this might be true for users connection to services there are also a lot of intra-serices connections that can keep TCP connections open and greatly benefit from doing so. For example, a microservice architecture where you have APIs c

I don't remember as this was 2 years ago. We were only concerned with write speeds as that was the majority of queries we would be performing. Read speeds were pretty good.

by dmlittle 8y ago
Read speeds are pretty good but write speeds not so much. For our particular use case 99.99% of queries ran would have been inserts with reports only generated once per month.

Last time we benchmarked Aurora (~2 years ago) the write speed of Aurora is pretty slow compared to RDS (Postgres RDS was able to achieve 3x write throughput)

You should look into getParamtersByPath instead of getParameters. You should be able to get past the rate limits for quite some time (we haven't hit the getParamtersByPath limits yet)

Similar to laurentl we use AWS SSM parameter store in combination with Chamber[1] to injects our secrets as environment variables to our application code. For services running on ECS, each task definition has an IAM Role attached that has p

Although not as easy to add/remote/edit URLs I make use of Chrome's custom search engines for the same functionality. For example, I have a "search engine" for HN that is just the letter "n" with no query

FWIW Elixir isn't necessarily lightweight. Memory will stay pretty flat (even during high workloads) but it's not lightweight.

If you need a public HTTP endpoint to test different response code but not payloads feel free to use mock.codes[1]. I built this a couple of years ago when I wanted to experiment with AWS API Gateway. The entire project is hard-coded defini

I'm the author of this tool and it was actually inspired by landscape. There really isn't a difference (yet) but I personally wanted something that didn't depend on my ruby environment and I could easily run anywhere. If you

I love Notion as a tool to use personally but it does not scale well. I was part of a working group that introduced Notion at my company and it worked great for a few months. Now that we have hundreds of pages it's _extremely hard_ to

For what it's worth when it comes to choosing a hosted ElasticSearch provider I would go to Elastic over AWS Elasticsearch Service.

Fetching parameters by path is an easy way to get bulk parameters and avoiding the rate limits.

I didn't know about the limit although you might be able to get it bumped? In my experience we haven't had any issues getting to that limit but we only ever use 1 level of depth (the service) and each environment has it's own

If you're using path prefixes you can retrieve all of them easily using the AWS SDK[1,2]. One of the things that we do is to prefix all of our SSM keys with a prefix based on the service name (for example, `example-api/`) and fetc

For context, we have a different AWS account for each environment (production, staging, etc.) and have as much parity as possible between them (although resource sizes might vary - for example different RDS instance sizes for staging vs. pr

Go uses tabs instead of spaces and Github displays them as 8 character width. It can get annoying and there are several extensions to change this behavior. Tab Size on Github [1] is the one I personally use. [1] https://github.co

I'd argue it's a similar case as when businesses create competing product offerings with better execution and end up winning in the long term. Staying on the gaming topic, you could say Call of Duty is a copy of Counter Strike? I&

What context is missing in Kibana? How are you storing the data in ElasticSearch?

Not a security issue but you're appending the PATH with LAMBDA_TASK_ROOT in the handler which is causing it to be appended over and over again with each execution. You can modify the PATH outside of the handler function so it's on

I'm not an expert by any means but two things that come to mind are: 1. Run your users code outside of your secured network. If you have a network with a VPC, make sure you're not running users code within your VPC. 2. Restrict ne

If you invest it all and withdraw about 4% per year (as warrenm mentioned) this would give you an income of $400,000 per year.

Would any of the 3 points you mentioned have been different had MSFT not acquired GitHub?
