Local folks who've known me awhile may remember the monthly Midtown Tech Lunch meetup that I use to host. I moved my office to Decatur and decided to try it over here on the east side of town.

Using Cognito's not always in fashion but I've never used it for machine to machine auth. This pricing change might simply push developers to write their own JTW validation for these cases.

Crazy that someone else can run up your AWS bill simply by learning one of your S3 bucket names. Definitely a reason to have pseudo-random bucket names!

SQS FIFO Queues are just distributed locks. Far easier than managing the lock in DynamoDB or Redis or some other store, and you can use the MessageGroupID as a grouping mechanism.
This is a pretty solid writeup about refactoring a legacy stateful app into a stateless one. I'm looking at you #coldfusion developers!

The new Key-Value store for CloudFront Functions should to speed up CDK deploys so much since a replicated function doesn't have to be synched across regions/POPs with each new deploy. #awsreinventbuff.ly/3upi3Yv
Step Functions are one of my favorite services at AWS. Adding the ability to call third party APIs without invoking a Lambda is huge. #awsreinventbuff.ly/3SX9caq
AWS Re:Invent starts today and the flood of announcements is well under way, including some big changes in Lambda scaling from 500 per minute per account to 1000 per 10 seconds per function! buff.ly/47vvXXC
I love it when I go to a conference session and learn something unexpected, even when it's a very small thing. I was attending @RayGesualdo's talk on the Navigation API last week at @ConnectTech and noticed an underscore in a javascript number. Something like doThing(5_000)...
At first I thought it was just a typo, then I thought better and did a quick Google on my iPhone. Turns out you can add underscores to numbers as visual separators to improve readability. Thanks @RayGesualdo!
Watching a very energetic @marktechson describe recent Angular updates at #ConnectTech and translating to Vue-speak.
Looks like (Angular=VueJs) signals=ref, effect=watch, computed=computed.
