I recently published a Serverless payment workflow that is 100% deployable with the #awscdk. Check it out to see some of the capabilities of the CDK.

Includes:

- Validated ACM certificate
- Deploying objects to an S3 bucket
- So. Little. IAM. Glue. <3

@DevonBurriss @datadoghq Nice post, I couldn't agree more. There is a reason why Developer Experience is becoming an increasingly hot topic.

Just published my first blog in over a year! If you want to learn how to get started with gaining insights into your services with the golden signals, this one is for you. https://t.co/XWYrTsCOcH

I just ran into this issue. I want to forward the Authorization header in CloudFront with caching disabled. Is the only way to do this still to create a custom cache policy with a 0 default and min TTL, but a 1 minute max TTL?

The newly released CloudFormation hooks feature is a solid way to enforce compliance for AWS resources.

Also use a tool like cfn-lint to inform your engineers about non-compliant code. This can be done as early as in a PR or even directly in their editor. https://t.co/w9J6dpFgbm

@Nick_Craver Mainly the build logs, but in order to improve the developer experience in some cases I provide the result as a comment.

See https://t.co/NP1fCKfwld for an example.

@luca_cloud Nice list! I'd expand "manage databases" with not managing much more: queues, load balancers, observerability tooling, etc. It's the only way to keep the cognitive load of your IDP team(s) low so they can focus on the developer experience.

@tdinh_me I've been thinking about this as well for... years? Once you're "ok" at English it's really hard to get to that next level. Nice to read I'm not the only one struggling with this :-) And looking forward to any tips you'll hopefully get here.

@urlichsanais @DoKcommunity @CivoCloud @pageit2thelimit @dnsmichi @MichaelCade1 @GetCortexApp @FrancescoCiull4 @ellenkorbes Thanks for the mention! 😀

"Not another one?!" was the first thing I thought when I read that AWS released one more way to run apps. Couldn't agree more with Randall here.

So to run a containerized app do I use this new AWS App Runner or:

* Amplify ?
* ElasticBeanstalk ?
* ECS ?
* EKS ?
* Lambda ?
* Copilot ?
* CodeStar ?
* Proton ?
* Lightsail ?

Does App Runner add **any** additional functionality?
Or is it just another repackaging of services?

Just bought these cute illustrations from https://t.co/4Op5ylnYEj. I will use them to add a bit of originality and style to the SaaS product I'm building.

@timothy_mamo Nop, no issues.

[Sander Knape @SanderKnape]

After upgrading #Terraform from 0.14.11 to 0.15.1, planning our manifest with ~800 #GitHub repo's and 2 additional resources per repo went from ~15 minutes to ~2 minutes. Love it <3

[Sander Knape @SanderKnape]

The latest Terraform AWS provider made default tags generally available. In my latest blog post I share how to combine this new feature with tfsec to enforce tags as early as possible in the development process. https://t.co/2gDpLwgbGZ

One of those things you didn't know that you didn't know. But which is fun to know.

[Mattia Peretti @xhgMattia]

Am I the only one just finding out about this..? 🤯

[Sander Knape @SanderKnape]

@timothy_mamo @LEGO_Group NICE. We're considering getting the Tree House. https://t.co/1YJveBHUEw

If you haven't read @TeamTopologies yet, this link will convince you to do so. A must read! https://t.co/KoqsrmDuZv

[Sander Knape @SanderKnape]

The book is only available in Dutch but an English version is in the works. More info can be found here. Recommended! https://t.co/TO5lzrogVW

[Sander Knape @SanderKnape]

Today I had a first "accountability" talk with good friend @AvDuijn where we discuss our goals in life and hold each other accountable. Based on the book "Grip" by @rickpastoor. Looking forward to a more structured way of reaching my goals!

[Sander Knape @SanderKnape]

I've written down some things I learned while working with GitHub Actions that not everyone may know. For example, did you know GitHub Actions actually supports if statements?

That and more is in my latest blog post.
