Did you know that Web Sockets don't Pub-Sub? It's a common myth that Web Sockets provide Pub-Sub, but this is a part of the backend server. To learn more about Web Sockets, check out my latest article on Serverless DNA. serverlessdna.com/strands/webs...

Not sure who needs to read this, but when taking a CC payment online DO NOT GIVE ME 2 DROP DOWN BOXES FOR THE EXPIRY DATE - it means I buy less online because it takes TOO LONG

Christmas time means many different things to everyone. There are two things that come to mind for me. Family and peaches. Family because I get to spend quality time with people who matter so much to me, and peaches because the days before Christmas is when the peaches on my tree ripen!

I'm really proud of my talk at re:Invent this year. It is full of meaty #serverless design with plenty of "Why"'s. It's a good story, flowing narrative and solid Serverless facts. Let me know your thoughts - what you liked, did not like or where you want a deeper dive. #ListenToTheHeroes

re:Invent is a LOT about networking and meeting people I collaborate with throughout the year. Great to Meetup with the #AWS Powertools for Lambda team! Was so good to meet you all and take a few minutes to chat and catchup. Look forward to many more collaborations in 2025! #ListenToTheHeroes

At re:Invent I went to the Valkey Mixer where I got to nerd out with @reconditerose.bsky.social about Valkey! I really admire Madelyn's bravery in taking on the Redis license change head on! Big thanks to you and all the maintainers who followed - you are the true heroes in this story!!

I wholeheartedly support Anna's message and am appalled at vendors given how much it costs for an expo booth, a few shirts to be more inclusive is 🥜. I am done with tech t-shirts unless you show me you are being inclusive, and we should all do the same.

EventHub For Front Ends (Effe) is a pure Event management system with publish and subscribe semantics, there are no WebSockets!!! Events on FrontEnd does not mean WebSockets! They are a transport medium used by Connectors. Join in the conversation here:

I use them both. The keyword search is also anywhere in the name. Press enter and can search another keyword and it's an additive filter. SQS console - only does singular prefix search which I find annoying.

I am loving the Visual Update in the #AWS console lately. I am finding it responsive as well so I can move faster BUT....I still want the Lambda Console search feature in EVERY console!!! Its still so ❤️‍🔥 ❤️‍🔥 ❤️‍🔥. Looking at you SQS Console 👀.

It's perfect for all your EDA Needs! Effe is still under development and has not yet been released as an NPM package. Stay tuned for when it will be released. With re:Invent around the corner, I do not have much spare time.

Introducing EventHub for Front Ends (Effe). It's time to build in public and get feedback. What is Effe? 🌟A pure event bus without confusing WebSockets 🌟Connectors to transmit your events anywhere! I like to think of it as EventBridge for FrontEnd! buff.ly/3Cyet24
