Absolutely loved having this wide ranging discussion about serverless and writing books with @sheenbrisals and @ksshams!
- Why a book on serverless?
- Enterprise case studies
- Barriers of entry
- Misconceptions
- Advice for teams
Enjoy! 🌞
Thank you so much to the #doit and #awsdublin teams for allowing me to talk about webhooks in Serverless Architectures! It was an incredible night—I’m still riding the adrenaline high! @doitint@AWSUserGroups
AWS offers over 200 services, but mastering just these 10 will cover 90% of use cases and lets you be productive.
• 𝗦3: data storage
• 𝗗𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗗𝗕: scalable, high-performance database
• 𝗟𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗱𝗮: serverless compute
• 𝗖𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗼: user management
• 𝗔𝗣𝗜 𝗚𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘄𝗮𝘆: API management
• 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲: collect & distribute domain events
• 𝗦𝗤𝗦: queue tasks to process asynchronously
• 𝗦𝗡𝗦: send notifications to endpoints (HTTP) and users (email)
• 𝗜𝗔𝗠: access control
• 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: infrastructure as code
As a beginner, learning AWS can seem overwhelming. Focus on just these 10 services and you can go very far.
Good luck!
ps. EC2, VPC & ECS are all absent because you really don't need them to be productive as a beginner. When you're starting out, focus on the higher-level services that offer you leverage to do more with less effort.

We are super excited to welcome @serverlesssarah and @level_out to #Cardiff to provide a light-hearted talk around testing #serverless architectures. Find out more at https://t.co/7BBzsRYLYi
PSA: if you're using CDK with esbuild to bundle your Node.js/TypeScript #lambda functions, pay attention to the last 0.22 esbuild update. The default behavior has changed and it will no longer bundle your dependencies.
If you want to restore the default, use the config below:
Today we released the first beta for a new Powertools utility that enables validation and parsing of events and payloads.
We are looking to gather feedback and iron out any issue between now and when its prod ready.
Let us know what you think!
The npm package "aws-lambda" is NOT types for Lambda, but a CLI deployment tool.
700,000 of you downloaded this last week and I know you're not actually deploying with it.
Stop importing it in your functions!
Even the AWS Docs have been updated to reflect this!
@baselimehq + @CloudflareDev
imagine what we can build together!
take a second to think about it, we're about to give the cloud platform you always wanted: workers, kv, pipelines, durable objects, @partykit_io, etc., and best in class observability
Don’t get me wrong, Rust is an excellent choice of Lambda runtime for a lot of use cases but at this point Step Functions is more _serverless_ than Lambda in terms of a compute programming model. Conflating serverless and Lambda feels like a regression.

Let's keep talking and diving deeper into the world of Step Functions. This week I'm joined again by @benjamin_l_s and we will be talking about some really interesting patterns with Step Functions.
