AppPack is the easiest way to deploy web apps to your own AWS account. A Heroku-like developer experience with the power and security of your own AWS account.
If you want reliable software, light oncall duty, and a swift resolution to any deploy problems, you know as well as I do how to get it:
* smaller, more frequent changes
* a tight feedback loop
* get changes out *fast*
* instrument and observe
* devs own their code & deploys
Dockerfiles are great if you use Docker locally or want more flexibility w/ the final image.
Buildpacks are still the go-to for a zero-config experience
The results for the 2023 AWS survey are in! Lots of interesting insights, like:
- More people use Serverless Framework than CDK
- More people use SNS than SQS (surprised me!)
- GitHub Actions has 99% retention (!)
All results 👇

It's been about a day and I'm still marveling at the EventBridge latency release. Every single metric has improved: P10, P50, P90, but also the standard deviation, indicating lower variability (and thus higher predictability) of latency.

This is great news! You may not want to run your web server with 16 CPUs, but it will be great for one-off data imports and other big tasks that can use a lot of parallel CPU.
AWS Fargate increases compute and memory resource configurations by 4x

AWS CloudFormation event notifications with Amazon EventBridge help you create event-driven applications
Changes to AWS CloudFormation-based stacks and resources are now available as event notifications in Amazon EventBridge. Customers can use thes... https://t.co/nR2zN2Lq6d
This is a good example of what we're trying to accomplish with AppPack in general. We handle the hard/confusing parts of working with AWS (in this case generating solid reusable Cloudformation templates) so you don't have to.
Using Cloudformation is like building a house with hand tools when power tools are readily available. It's dated technology that's harder to use, but we still use it for AppPack... here's why 👇
Still, Cloudformation is painful to work with. Wiring together complex groups of resources in YAML/JSON is super error-prone. ✏️We wrote a bit about the stack we use to improve the experience here: https://t.co/VH1YCFZqF3
