Sweet! My recent article on AWS budgets is now featured on the DZone homepage dzone.com/articles/aws...

The AI summary in #bitbucket for PRs is a pretty handy feature. It writes clean notes for the reader of a pull request. Not that I can’t write them myself, but it definitely saves time and is probably better than that I would write them.

Java 25 will be the next LTS release. ETA is in two weeks (16th) as far as I know and I’m already looking forward to start using it in AWS Lambda, which seems to be planned for October according to docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/lates... #aws #lambda #java

Tried to migrate some data from one DynamoDB table to another using the S3 export import while using AWS CDK, but I did not like the experience. Somethings it failed with errors, sometimes it said it failed but did import data. Switched to using a lambda for copying instead.
