   Great Product!

   I've been looking for an alternative to Algolia Places but the existing solutions are either too expensive or lack worldwide support. Placekit was the right solution for me: simple, efficient, affordable and loved the dashboard design.

• Serverless with Mama J — Why Serverless

  AWS Lambda is a service that runs your code without you managing any servers. You write your code, deploy it to Lambda, and it takes care of the infrastructure — servers, networking, security, and scaling. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• Enriching Free Trial Signups: The PLG Data Stack for Turning Inbound Users Into Qualified Pipeline

  Clay can replace the Lambda and API chain if you'd rather avoid custom code. You set up a Clay table as the enrichment layer, trigger it from Segment via webhook, and it handles the waterfall and CRM push without writing a function. The tradeoff: less control over scoring logic and higher cost per enriched contact. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• Dynamic Looping Comes to AWS SAM

  To show why this matters, take a look at the following example. I have three AWS Lambda functions, Lambda being the serverless compute service, that each handle a different endpoint on the same API. But, almost everything about them is the same. They have the same runtime, the same memory configuration, and nearly the same structure. The only differences are the name, handler, and possibly some environment variables. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• AIP-C01 last-minute revision: exam traps, memory hooks, and quick notes

  Query Expansion and Decomposition: Amazon Bedrock query expansion broadens search; AWS Lambda query decomposition breaks complex queries into sub-queries; AWS Step Functions orchestrates multi-step retrieval. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Why AWS Certified GenAI Developer stands apart from other AWS certs

  You need to understand synchronous and asynchronous inference patterns, event-driven architectures using Amazon EventBridge, workflow orchestration with AWS Step Functions, data processing with AWS Lambda, state management with Amazon DynamoDB, and security with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). The exam tests your ability to design serverless architectures that scale automatically, handle failures... - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Google Maps is always right… right?

  We recently integrated a new country-state boundary functionality into our PlaceKit API. To estimate performance, we tested our system against the Google Maps API and encountered unexpected anomalies. A manual review of each discrepancy led to an interesting discovery: we traced all anomalies back to Google Maps, offering a glimpse into its occasionally flawed calculations. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• Making React-Leaflet work with NextJS

  I've run into some issues implementing React Leaflet with NextJS for our admin panel at PlaceKit. So let's gather my findings into a single article, hoping it'll save you some time. - Source: dev.to / about 3 years ago
