In my latest online course, I cover the fundamental integration patterns you will see most often in #serverless applications.. And this isn't just point to point vs pub/sub. This course covers a range of different #patterns, and importantly, how you can actually use these patterns in #production.
I maybe should have covered these style of issues! Same with the max length for an email message being 20,000 UTF-8 characters - if I remember rightly you don’t get an error and it just uses the fallback 🫠

My hope for re:Invent next year? A plain marl grey hoodie without aluminous green sleeves 😇
The best way to learn cost-optimisation on AWS is to have your own credit card attached to personal side projects
I would love to be able to communicate with AWS Kiro using natural language with a simple microphone button instead of typing all of the time, and can hear the responses back conversationally and not just in the chat window. Choosing the persona, too, would be cool!
