To me a DNS lookup spinning up a container on Fargate looks both very cool and scary at the same time.

The most common approach I've seen is lift & shift to a VM and possibly some devops pixie dust on top to adopt golden image deployments. My perspective is limited and evidence anecdotal but I've seen only one on-prem to server

I do custom enterprise software and there the story is somewhat different. In that landscape many existing workloads are either being migrated to VMs or containers in the cloud or replaced with new cloud native applications. Companies are e

This was also my concern after reading the reviews on the first model. I'm not the world's fastest hand-writer so I found the device surprisingly snappy and the latency - while perceivable if paying close attention to it - hasn&#x

Congrats on the release! Are there any plans for some kind of combo deal now that Sublime Text and Sublime Merge licenses are aligned?

reMarkable 2. I was looking for a sketching and note taking tool and got a decent eBook reader as a bonus. The UX is very nice and distraction-free. It works surprisingly well for drawing as well. My only complaint is the lack of Linux supp

I've been working on serverless applications for years now and the cases are quite rare TBH. Static cost of data streams come up in data projects but even there it's trivial to consume data from shared streams in developer-specifi

This is a very interesting question! Aside from somewhat difficult (C/C++), non-native (Electron) and perhaps too platform-specific (.NET stuff) the alternatives for easy desktop GUI development are rather limited: - Python apps with a

Oh, it's in Elm. Cool! I'll definitely read the code later today and hopefully learn something. Did writing this reveal any interesting pros/cons regarding event sourcing in contrast to a stateful implementation? Minesweeper

This comment doesn't seem to make sense, could you elaborate a bit? How would you replace the database working as a persistence layer to an API application by polling an event stream?

LastPass. Often unstable, horrible client with bad UX but works well enough most of the time for the customer not to consider switching to an alternative.

I'd say a bounded context is a better border. When doing REST you can then begin by implementing each of your aggregate roots within the context as a resource.

by meekins 8y ago
You can absolutely do that. Then you just need to do more custom work to enable route level observability and metrics.

The interface between Lambda and your business logic is usually very thin so in case of simple REST APIs migrating from platform (as long as the target platform has a compatible language runtime) to another or to be executed in a web app fr

This of course depends on how central the app you are building is to your business and how long lifespan you expect. If it's your core product and you expect a lifespan of > 5 years, not getting tied in with a single cloud vendor is
