If "Enter Sandman" comes up in your playlist and you need to write some code that does it justice:.

So long Twitter, thanks for all the democracy! I'll probably lurk, comment and like here still, but if you are jonesing for my troublemaking, candid hat shots, serverless content or 🍌 facts, follow me on the double winged site or the beyond stoked site.

Generate videos in just a few seconds. Try Grok Imagine, free for a limited time.

Lambda should just do a proactive initialization after deployment. Seems like a simple way of getting rid of 1 coldstart, I always invoke soon after I deploy.

Also wondering if everyone goes into sport mode whether loading goes faster 😅.

TIL airplane headrests have a sport mode. Is this on all planes? I've never tried folding in the sides before.

See you tomorrow at GitHub Universe '24. I have small sticky things and a few $2 bills if you prefer non-sticky paper.

Levitated a car and fixed the front bumper yesterday.

Good times playing chamber music on Angel Island today. You're lucky you can't smell these pictures, the fishy stank coming off the bay went extra hard.

Stop what you're doing and go to a concert at Red Rocks amphitheater in Morrison Colorado. I give it the Nobel prize for vibes. So much energy radiating from those rocks! Even the raccoons agree!

If you are new to wide events and they haven't clicked yet, read this article. Jeremy provides a great prescription for what to log and how to use wide events to answer questions.

The username checks out on this CloudWatch Logs Live Tail announcement.

New blog where I continue my odyssey with CloudFront Functions. This time I use them to emit metrics to get a better picture of my end user latencies

Realizing a better RT would have been "BRB, mastering Postgres.".

Only a warlock like Aaron can rebrand a "starter kit" as "mastering" and get away with it.

I started my shower today with 1 blog idea, and when I finished I had 2. 🚿💡.

If you like acceleration, re:invent has 90 session titles that start with accelerate this year.

@deeheber We did it! Danielle is a solid bus driver under pressure. It took a little while to get on the freeway, but once underway, and with we went full-on Keanu and deftly juked through lambda, dynamo, cloudwatch and s3 to defuse the bomb. Fun all around!.

In 60 minutes @deeheber and I will be recklessly driving a bus through the streets of LA on a speedrun against time. Join the livestream to ride shotgun, or steal a copter and attempt the speedrun yourself.

There are 3 things I miss going from serverless framework to CDK. 1. Sane resource names.2. Interpolated stage based variables.3. No random lambdas for functionality deployed in your account.I can workaround 1 and 2, but 3 really should be hosted by the CDK team.

Yesterday was a supercut of fist pumps. Migrated prod from Serverless V3 to the CDK and from API Gateway to CloudFront. All the resources successfully imported to the new CloudFormation stacks without drift. Chased it with a zero downtime DNS cutover. Still got it!

I built an escape room and @deeheber is going to use to escape from it. You will only use the edge of your seat. Livestream October 4th.
