• Serverless Data Processor using AWS Lambda, Step Functions and Fargate on ECS (with Rust 🦀🦀)

  There are a few ways to solve this of course but one solution I wanted to explore is using AWS Step Functions (https://aws.amazon.com/step-functions/) to drive the whole process.

• Testing Serverless Applications on AWS

  For context; the web application is built with React and TypeScript which makes calls to an AppSync API that makes use of the Lambda and DynamoDB datasources. We use Step Functions to orchestrate the flow of events for complex processing like purchasing and renewing policies, and we use S3 and SQS to process document workloads. - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago

• Customizing error handling in Step Functions

  If we have to coordinate multiple function calls, we can use AWS Step Functions to orchestrate the workflow. Step Functions integrates with many other AWS services, but here I'll focus on Lambda functions. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

  Once you've created it you can host it locally (this means leaving the program running on your computer) or host it through a service online. I haven't personally tried this yet, but I believe you can use a site like heroku.com or other similar services. Source: 11 months ago

• Making AJAX Applications Crawlable? How to build a simple web service on Google App Engine to produce HTML Snapshots?

  I have my app hosted on Heroku, who (to my knowledge) are unable to offer a solution for running a Headless (GUI-less) Browser - such as HTMLUnit - for generating HTML Snapshots for Googlebot to index my AJAX content. Source: about 1 year ago

• Engineers who have a personal website/blog, what are you using to host/generate it?

  Over the years, I’ve gone from Time Warner’s Road Runner, to Tumblr, to GitHub Pages, to Godaddy hosted WordPress. Though, after Godaddy messed up a migration, I switched to self-hosting on Heroku. I wrote my blog engine using Crystal. Reference: ejstembler.com. Source: about 1 year ago
