Operating Lambda: Debugging code – Part 1
Operating Lambda: Debugging configurations – Part 2
Operating Lambda: Debugging configurations – Part 3
In the Operating Lambda series, I cover important topics for developers, architects, and systems administrators who are managing AWS Lambda-based applications. This three-part series discusses core debugging concepts for Lambda-based applications.
Those pesky pull request reviews
They’re everywhere. In Slack: “hey, can I get a review on this?” In email: “Your review is requested!” In JIRA: “8 user stories In-Progress” (but code-complete). In your repository: 5 open pull requests. They’re slowing your delivery. They’re interrupting your developers.
How can we get people to review pull requests faster??
Operating Lambda: Using CloudWatch Logs Insights
In the Operating Lambda series, I cover important topics for developers, architects, and systems administrators who are managing AWS Lambda-based applications. This three-part series discusses monitoring and observability for Lambda-based applications and covers:
- Using Amazon CloudWatch, CloudWatch Logs Insights, and AWS X-Ray to apply monitoring
across services.- How existing monitoring concepts apply to Lambda-based applications.
- Troubleshooting application issues in an example walkthrough.
This post explains how to use CloudWatch Logs Insights in your serverless applications.
CDK Lambda Deployment takes about a minute - how about sub second Function Code Deployment?
Creation of Lambda infrastructure with the CDK is really powerful. Updating the Function code is really slow. Here is a fix for that to get to a sub-second Lambda function deployment time.
Best practices for developing cloud applications with AWS CDK
In this post, we discuss strategies for organizing the development of complex cloud applications with large teams, using the AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) as a central technology. AWS CDK allows developers and administrators to define their cloud applications using a familiar programming language, such as TypeScript, Python, Java, or C#. Applications are organized into stages, stacks, and constructs, which allows for modular design techniques in both runtime logic (such as AWS Lambda code or containerized services) and infrastructure components such as Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) buckets, Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) databases, and network infrastructure.
