GET IIIIIINNNNNNN!!! 😅😅😅

@paulgrav Thanks Paul! It is tempting but I just can’t comprehend how anyone can do what I did today.. twice 🤯. You going for it?

✅ First half marathon

Big thank you to the @runforall pacers that practically dragged me across the finish line! #LeedsHalfMarathon

@dagorenouf Doing a demo and a “staff member” joins the call. Goes well but then shortly after the prospect announces working with a diff company. “Staff member” turns out to be a PM at this diff company, and they’re now posting screenshot of our product as their own. MFs are diabolical.

[Chris Bell @cabdesigns]

@alexwestco Congrats Alex. Did I see that right you were at $75k/y only as recent as Jan?! That’s impressive. Looks like you’ve unlocked a game changer by offering services too.

[Chris Bell @cabdesigns]

@paulgrav The footage from the Sky News team getting shot at is insane.

[ShuttleID @ShuttleIDUK]

This is years overdue but I’m so glad it’s here
“AWS Lambda now supports partial batch response for SQS as an event source” https://t.co/1yJcAwiqUS

@txase I had this use case a while back and ran through pretty much all the above. The one other idea I had was to use Azure function to trigger the Lambda (via API gateway). Azure function looks to be able handle sub minute crons. Might be worth a look: https://t.co/Xht08dg71W

Item Explorer in new DynamoDB console seems quite buggy. Nearly had a heart attack when only one record consistently came back after a query, switch to old interface and all the precious data returns. Think I'll stick with the old console until it matures a bit.

[Chris Bell @cabdesigns]

Now this is very interesting. 🤓

[Chris Munns @chrismunns]

Container Image support for #AWSLambda. Will help you simplify your build/deployment of #serverless applications. lots more to do

[Chris Bell @cabdesigns]

Per ms billing! As a Yorkshireman, I approve of this change

[AJ Stuyvenberg @astuyve]

BREAKING (fine it's a few hours old): Lambda just got per-ms billing! Check your logs, this is a huge savings: (alt: Duration: 35.05 msBilled Duration: 36 ms) @goserverless #Serverless

[Chris Bell @cabdesigns]

Had my first play with S3 data exports from DynamoDB processed with Athena today. This will unlock some major reporting capabilities (OLAP) for customers using DDB as their primary data store and I’m already getting a lot of value from it. #serverless #aws

[Chris Bell @cabdesigns]

@alex_casalboni @dynamodb Hell yes. 🚀

[Chris Bell @cabdesigns]

@hichaelmart @alexbdebrie Intrigued!

[Chris Bell @cabdesigns]

@webmonkeyash Enjoyed following your journey Ash, inspiring 👏

[Chris Bell @cabdesigns]

Finally! This has been a pain to deal with on serverless stacks. Typically resource limit would always bite at the worst possible time. Really glad to see this drop. 🥳

[Alex DeBrie @alexbdebrie]

Love to see this. Has been top 5 on my #awswishlist for a while. 🚀

You shouldn't use >200 resources in many stacks, but certain use cases (REST APIs w/ APIGW) can easily exceed that.

@GlennTownsend @firstserv I've tried calling, live chat and email. No updates on any medium, it's crazy. I'm starting my migration now. Good luck Glenn.

[Chris Bell @cabdesigns]

@firstserv The GB Servers website has gone down along with one of my servers I've used for years. Help?
