I wonder how this compares to Aurora Serverless Data API. This is an HTTP API that you POST a query to and get results data back. The result format is a bit clunky but there's all the column information you'd expect. I found this

Yes we are using Lambda under the hood. Every customer's custom source or destination is its own Lambda function. This gives us a ton of fine-grained isolation, scalability and visibility out of the box. We ask customers to implement a

Engineer on the Segment Functions product here. Happy to discuss any questions about how it works and how we built it.

We built the initial version on AWS Lambda. Out of the box it gives us a lot of isolation, scaling and visibility into each piece of customer code. Most importantly using Lambda let us focus almost entirely on the user / developer expe

I really appreciate projects like this. It’s helpful for casual observers to understand all the pieces of the stack. You can get an immediate feel if the approach is right for you and your team. And it’s helpful for engineers to have exampl

It’s a valid fear. Dynamo can get really expensive really fast with on demand or auto scaling. I have a dynamo addon for Heroku apps and need to keep cost under control. I use AWS Budgets and put a fixed price monthly budget on every table.

OP here. We considered this, but decided against it for a couple reasons. First and foremost our customers universally favor REST APIs. GraphQL and gRPC are better tech wise but REST is more familiar. Next gRPC uses pure HTTP/2 which d

OP here. We keep them all in one repo. Right now the entire API is a monorepo so it’s easy. But I plan to split it up soon... All the protos in one repo. Ideally public so Segment users can use it as a reference too! Then all the generated

OP here. We use the envoy authz filter. For every incoming request envoy first calls out to a custom auth check service with all the request metadata like path and http headers. The auth service can return a “fail” response which indicates

OP here. There’s a lot more to say about this stack, particularly learnings of grpc and envoy over 6 months. But overall I think the service framework and service proxy pattern is really powerful.

You can set up a FaaS app just as fast as Heroku. I find it even more efficient, since Go, AWS SAM and Lambda offers dev/build/prod simplicity that Heroku never figured out. I open sourced and documented the stack that I use inste

CDNs are great in general. I find myself putting CloudFront in front of pretty much everything to unlock speed, security and now even functionality like auth thanks to Lambda@Edge. I have a CloudFront add-on for Heroku that, in some cases,

If you anticipate needing more scale or control for your monolith, you will probably eventually need to learn about containers. Look at containers-as-a-service tech which includes Docker, Heroku's continer registry, ECS, and/or Ku

This is my favorite feature of Go in Lambda. You cross compile a Linux binary, throw it in S3, and Lambda runs it on demand. It feels so good to skip over all the Docker tools, config and services to build a Go app. I wrote up more details
