Hosting serverless TypeScript functions on AWS Lambda is not that hard 🙏

Also in a TS focused stack with eg nodejs it’s pretty nice using AWS CDK for your Infrastructure as Code in TypeScript as well.

@sebbel shows you how:

Here is my latest blog about a #serverless solution to dataset/batch processing on AWS.

In the example, transaction data from various locations of a business get uploaded to AWS every day and then need to be processed. One approach to handle this is to use a Lambda functions to pre process the data and then trigger a Step Function to orchestrate the detailed processing of the data.

One of the requirements in this case is that the processing of the data has highly variable durations which in many cases will exceed the Lambda execution timeout of 15 minutes. Also we need to be able to scale to very large size when needed without provisioning lots of servers. One more requirement is to update the status and report outputs of the process to people via slack messages.

The solution i detail is a serverless approach involving the use of #Fargate containers on the Elastic Compute Service (ECS).

I have been learning #Rustlang for a while now so I decided to tackle this project by coding with it! 🦀🦀

All of the source code is included in the repo mentioned in the article.

@TAbrodi I think you'd love sourcegraph, or https://t.co/x49rOSbOrX

Everyone is waiting for FF7 Rebirth and meanwhile I am just waiting for the OST to release on Spotify.

@sam_hatoum I am going to use the term „Done cementery“ moving forward.

@theburningmonk I love this picture, it makes a lambda without any concurrency control really seem like a siege tower.

I feel the idea to build a platform more interesting than launching a product.

Back to building ChatOps for discord, so much fun with basic building blocks.

Actually did some very basic low level JavaScript coding yesterday that was not linked to any side-project or work. It was a refreshing experience and I feel like I want to get into the habit of coding half-serious stuff once in a while again.

@Manuel_Schoebel Are you free for a demo in 1hr?

[sebbel @sebbel]

@Manuel_Schoebel Do you need magic infra dust?

[sebbel @sebbel]

@Manuel_Schoebel Wait, another one or the one we talked bout already? 😅

[sebbel @sebbel]

@LeeJamesGilmore I am super interested, I’ll check that account tomorrow, with intermittent fasting alone I had such a positive change in energy and attention.

[sebbel @sebbel]

Super happy with the communication from @flydotio about the pricing of the ip addresses. Stuff happens.

[sebbel @sebbel]

Sometimes I feel you can make a living as a pricing engineer, constantly optimising AWS accounts.

@vaynemyko @Manuel_Schoebel Oh didn't know DO had managed Postgres. Good to know :) Haven't looked into digitalocean for a while.

[sebbel @sebbel]

@Manuel_Schoebel @kgmodi Around $50, but you also don't pay for raw container power in fargate, but for the integration in the AWS ecosystem. And there's also Fargate Spot, which can drive that down to around 18 I guess.

[sebbel @sebbel]

@vaynemyko @Manuel_Schoebel Where do you run your managed postgres, on DO?
