For me #TheServerlessBook is the culmination of all the mistakes, lessons and realisations from the past 5 years of working on enterprise-grade AWS serverless software.

It is the book I wish I’d had on my desk in 2019 when I was leading my first serverless engineering team

@AWSbrett Oo yeah that is super neat! 😎

[Luke Hedger @level_out]

How is everyone structuring their CDK apps/stacks these days?

[Luke Hedger @level_out]

@AWSbrett Nice! That looks sensible Brett. And what do the stack files look like, do you define all resources inside the constructor or some other approach?

@MicheleBertoli @Meta @EnodeHQ Congrats Michele! Sounds like a super cool project. I remember you saying this is the area you wanted to work in one day, so very happy to hear it’s now a reality! 🙌

@gunnarmorling The danger here is becoming too precious about production systems. This leads to fragility and a fear of change. Of course the default should be VCS but there is always a time/place for more direct changes. As long as they are done with the same level of scrutiny, care, control

@balajmarius Thanks Marius, your support means a lot!! What a dream team we had (with Xin and BiggaMasta) - never shipped so much code in my life! 🚀

Let me know what you think of the book!

Still one of the most compelling and interesting serverless use cases, Luc talking us thru PostNL’s cloud journey @ServerlessCWL. Christmas is just another day for this guy! Spikes, what spikes?

��� Designing Distributed Systems.

Any other for my bookshelve?

@coltmcnealy What would message transforms in the broker look like Colt? Could this include blending data across msgs into a single consumed msg? And by Workflow API do you mean something like a workflow engine/durable execution?

[Luke Hedger @level_out]

@embano1 Did you see this one yesterday too Michael? https://t.co/0AMp6LBK01

[Luke Hedger @level_out]

Such a good point! Also helps to view all those early decisions through the one-way/two-way door lens. Some you can reverse out of as you learn more and evolve the system, some you are stuck with forever. Try to delay one-way decisions for as long as possible

[Yan Cui @theburningmonk]

We build knowledge over time, but most of our system decisions are made at the start.
That’s why we need to build systems that can evolve over time.
well said ⁦@boyney123⁩ 👏

[Luke Hedger @level_out]

This is pretty wild stuff! Really cool for automated data pipelines and message stream processing

[archie 🦋 @archieemwood]

you can now get data from auth'd APIs with @duckdb

🤯

ya know, to get your stripe data or whatever

(it's not documented yet)

[Luke Hedger @level_out]

The #ServerlessBook now has a quiz at the end of each chapter! What's the right answer!? 🫦
