#AWS Local Zones Are Now Open in Boston, Miami, and Houston -

This is fantastic news!

We haven't told people the scale that @AWSIdentity works at before, but today we're disclosing that we authenticate and authorize over 400 million API calls EVERY SECOND. You guys gotta stop building stuff or we're going to run out of compute. 😅

I am still catching up on early January posts 👉 Optimizing Lambda functions packaged as container images – interesting tips by @rts_rob #AWS #Serverless #DevOps

AWS SDK for Go Version 2 Now Generally Available:

Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL Integrates with AWS Lambda – You can invoke Lambda functions directly from within an Aurora database via stored procedures or user-defined functions. This was previously available only for Aurora MySQL. #AWS #Database #Serverless

So many great things in Andy's keynote, one I'm really excited about is all the new Local Zones. Just imagine what can be built with AWS within milliseconds of most of the population of the US.

OTOH, the billing for Lambdas is now in ms:

AWS giveth, Engineer taketh away (AP still sweating).

New for AWS Lambda – Functions with Up to 10 GB of Memory and 6 vCPUs – Imagine what you can do now! 🤩 #AWS #reInvent #Serverless

Run macOS on AWS for the first time with new Amazon EC2 Mac instances. Start developing, building, testing, and signing Apple apps on AWS. Learn more:

New – Code Signing, a Trust and Integrity Control for AWS Lambda – only signed code packages from trusted publishers can run in your Lambda functions + code has not been altered since signing super interesting post by @channyun #AWS #Security #Serverless

@rakyll @mattklein123 You may find it interesting to see how EC2 collects metrics and logs from all the EC2 servers. My recent builder’s library article was inspired by lessons learned from such systems.

Very cool — RDS (and Postgres) now run on ARM. It's just a matter of time until ARM ignites in the data center.

I was hoping/expecting the $ discount to be greater, but AWS claims an r6g is ~40% more performant than its m5 counterpart, at ~20% cheaper.
