Mum, I was on stage this week 😳💜

Incredibly proud to represent the teams at cinch (past and present from 2019) to tell the @cinchuk story.

Thanks to @edjgeek for being such an inspiring host, @em__shea for being such an awesome co-speaker 👌

@boyney123 Thanks for the offer, I will most likely reach out once we know more about what we want to achieve.

1️⃣ RUM
2️⃣ https://t.co/ySZrWj9Exl
3️⃣ Miro

Are the 3 things I would almost always recommend to any company.

@benjamenpyle has kindly offered a comprehensive blog post for RUM.

You might not have time to read it, bookmark it for when you do need it (because you will need it)

Aaaaand make it repeatable and get good at it as an organisation.

✅ Do we need more than one team?
✅ Will we benefit from people from more than one team be involved?

[Toli 💻🧘⛹️ @apostolis09]

Absolutely incredible talk by @VarunaVenkatesh at @FastFlowConf 🥰🙌

Taking working groups seriously, thinking of them as an enabling team in @TeamTopologies terms 💡

[Toli 💻🧘⛹️ @apostolis09]

Overall, it's been an incredible experience so far. There are a few things that need improvement and a bit more thinking, but I don' think any of them are a show stopper (unless the models stop getting better or even get worse)

[Toli 💻🧘⛹️ @apostolis09]

Alright. It's been a week with @cursor_ai now. Here are some early observations/signals (only three!).

I have this feeling that the future is here. Or the step improvement happened a couple of years ago, and now we are reaping the benefits.

Side note: using Composer is 🤯

[Toli 💻🧘⛹️ @apostolis09]

3️⃣ Learning: I've learned loads in the process and gloss over things I don't think are important.

What I find intriguing is that testing & observability are even more critical now, not less. You still need to verify your code both in dev and live. And you want to automate that.

Much, much, much needed samples specific to serverless.

Thanks, @plantpowerjames, for making this happen. 🔥

[James Eastham @plantpowerjames]

I've been working on a set of getting started examples for adding observability to your serverless applications with Datadog. Examples for .NET, in Terraform, SAM and the CDK just merged.

@KatieARaby @warpdotdev 👀 Looks great

@plantpowerjames @Cloudflare

[Toli 💻🧘⛹️ @apostolis09]

This is what caught my eye with @Cloudflare workers in the first place. Performance is - as @plantpowerjames says - off the charts.

Anyone used them for APIs as a core part of their stack yet?

[James Eastham @plantpowerjames]

The first video in my new series on building serverless applications with @Cloudflare Workers is coming later today. Here is a little sneak peek at just how good the performance is.

[Toli 💻🧘⛹️ @apostolis09]

@JordanFinners @Cloudflare @plantpowerjames @boristane I just used them for a form on my personal website, storing the data and returning it, when needed. This one is a “subscribe” to my blog posts form. But it was one of those that I wanted to explore the tech more than I needed the feature.

[Toli 💻🧘⛹️ @apostolis09]

@plantpowerjames @Cloudflare Oh, it’s out! I’m your number 7 fan. https://t.co/fnosjKchtF

[Toli 💻🧘⛹️ @apostolis09]

@JordanFinners @Cloudflare @plantpowerjames @boristane I tried Pages, Durable Objects and Workers this week and the DX is pretty amazing. Yeah, a call would be amazing.

[Toli 💻🧘⛹️ @apostolis09]

@plantpowerjames @Cloudflare Looking forward to the video 👀

[Toli 💻🧘⛹️ @apostolis09]

@JordanFinners @Cloudflare @plantpowerjames Awesome 🤩 Any other problems? Using wrangler to deploy? So you iuss durable objects?

For observability you might want to meet @boristane 🤝
