Amazon MemoryDB multi-region is now generally available. If you're a dist sys geek, you may be interested to know that this multi-region active-active eventually consistent database is based on conflict-free replicated data types (CRDTs).

This is gonna be a challenging year...

The fourth and last in my series of blog posts on our new Aurora DSQL database is up! This time, we're looking at what happens during network partitions, and how we preserve consistency, availability, and durability. Check it out: brooker.co.za/blog/2024/12...

Today's third blog post on Aurora DSQL: this time looking at the write and commit path, and how conflicts are detected and handled: brooker.co.za/blog/2024/12...

My second blog post on Aurora DSQL, with a deep dive on how reads work: brooker.co.za/blog/2024/12...

It's finally here! Amazon Aurora DSQL might just be the future of distributed SQL databases. #serverless 🙌🚀

medium.com/@stephane.za... Setting up AWS resources with click-ops works for quick tests but you should be using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools. There are many IaC choices on AWS like Cloud Development Kit (CDK), Serverless Application Model (SAM) and Terraform. SAM is detailed below. (1/4) 🧵

Cost-Aware Architectures for Viewers like You — Today we are sharing the next deep dive blog post and podcast episode in The Frugal Architect series featuring Mike Norton, with insights from his work as VP of Cloud Services and Operations at PBS. www.thefrugalarchitect.com/architects/m...

Registration closes in 9 hours. Hurry up! #AWS #reInvent #reInvent2024 #keynote #watchParty #WernerVogels

Only 20 spots left for this free Amsterdam event meetu.ps/e/NvMSK/jJsd...

We are relaunching The Frugal Architect with a focus on frugal insights from seasoned architects. Starting with a deep dive blog post by Dan Conti, former CTO of WeTransfer, who's also the first guest on the Frugal Architect podcast series from #AWS www.allthingsdistributed.com/2024/11/retu...

I made EventCatalog technology agnostic, I wanted to give anyone the ability to document their event-driven architecture regardless of their technology. This decision is starting to pay off now. You can document any schemas in EventCatalog (protobuf, JSON, avro, Thrift, XML etc) with any broker.

Grab your spot before it's too late! 🇳🇱 meetu.ps/e/NvMSK/9k4l...

So, this is cool. Amazon ECS just released predictive scaling. Predictive Scaling proactively increases the desired task count based on historical patterns. This improves availability & responsiveness, while enabling cost savings by needing less over-provisioning. aws.amazon.com/blogs/contai...

Sure :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdaW...

The Node 22 runtime is finally available for AWS Lambda: aws.amazon.com/blogs/comput...

BOOM! Aurora Serverless v2 now scales to zero! 🤯 Finally lives up to its name!

It is unbelievable how the NL government taxes on hypothetical values (e.g. expected ROI or max offer a house could get) and protects lobbies (tax not on land registry value but on a value determined by an appraiser).

Is inclusion really about everyone being involved in decisions and everyone's opinion having the same weight regardless of roles and seniority? If so, have you ever seen a company where every single decision is made by all the people?

Nice @CloudNativeFdn @Meetup event at @TomTom #Amsterdam office. The @soloio_inc CTO @louiscryan presented @IstioMesh Ambient Mesh. #k8s #kubernetes #servicemesh #istio #ambientmesh

I am wondering if anybody thought or tried to extend Siren to binary serialization with Protobuf / Flatbuffers / Cap'n Proto application/vnd.siren+protobuf application/vnd.siren+flatbuffers application/vnd.siren+capnproto CC @kevinswiber

I am wondering if the amazing @event_catalog by @boyney123 integrates with Confluent Platform / Confluent Cloud Schema Registry.

It would be great to hear what @mamund thinks about the possibility of using UBER or Siren with Protobuf instead of JSON.

People usually do not check again all prices after deciding to proceed with an order. It is not a coincidence that discounts of multiple @albertheijn products disappear as soon as the delivery date is selected. In other countries this deceitful advertising is against the law.

Hallo @Belastingdienst, worden rentes op niet-geïnvesteerd geld op Trading212, Freedom24, Revolut, Trade Republic beschouwd als banktegoeden of beleggingen?

How can I get in touch with one of the community leads @awsugnl? I tried to reach out on LinkedIn but did not get any reply yet. Thank you!

I was wondering if AWS gurus also run private training classes. Do you @edjgeek @julian_wood @jeremy_daly @boyney123?

Hi @RandallKanna, has "The standout career" been renamed to "The standout developer"?

Op de vooringevulde aangifte staat een rekening/beleggingsnummer dat noch ik noch mijn bank herkennen. @Belastingdienst wat moet ik doen?

Managers who bully employees out can end up being laid off after their company is acquired one second before going bankrupt. #lifeisawheel

Taking money and not providing a service or good is a fraud. It should be punished by law and companies should be prevented to have policies that allow this.

First time at #AWSreInvent and frugality was applied to #SWAG: hoodie and water bottle, no more backpacks ☹️

Too bad that @Ticketmaster is tied to a specific country with this even worse for the mobile app which has a different download per country. A single web / mobile app allowing search by country or location and management of all tickets regardless of location would be way better.

No flights from Pisa to Amsterdam between 8 January and 8 February. Are you planning to add some flights @transavia?

Lambda cold start benchmark by @_maxday is amazing. It would be great to also add dotnet7 aot and graalvm java17 to arm64 benchmarks. #cloud #aws #lambda #coldstarts

Apple iPad starts at ~600 €. You can pick the keyboard layout/country you want. Cheapest @Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 is ~800 €. You can only get a keyboard of the same region of the site you purchase from. #CustomerExperience should definitely improve!
