If you let it go that far then you were going to blow it one way or another - it’s not an excuse to totally ignore the cloud spend but it’s a n excuse to defer it to a later date. If your successful, fix it, if your not then AWS aren’t gett

It’s negligent to not use 2FA for any cloud platform where credentials can be used to spin up resources.

To be fair that’s an AWS problem not a lambda problem. If you replace lambda with EC2 the only thing you save in is lambda and step functions(and maybe api gateway but now you need to pay for a load balancer or a public IP), the rest you ne

It’s flexible but slow. we ran our C++ CI/CD on AWS at a previous company, and we used spot instances with volumes attached and detached dynamically. The performance was absolutely abysmal because in effect you’re running compilation a

Remakes have been around since the early days of games too, particularly if you consider ports remakes. The Sega ages series of games were remakes of old games to the PS2.

Then the FCC have hid this well - they don't want this to stop spam they want it to link phone numbers to people. If they wanted to stop spam they'd fix it so that carriers were required to ensure the numbers aren't spoofed.
