I wonder if anyone would show up if this were to happen this fall. I wonder if we'd get any speakers to join. I wonder if we'd get any sponsors. I wonder...

Depends on what you've already read and where you want to start. Microservices, Architect Elevator, Learning DDD, Architecture hard parts, Evolutionary architecture... and the list goes on.

The latest ones I read include Enabling Mcs, System thinking, Communication patterns, etc.

Why is your product Open Source? Open source business models are hard. A question I often get it why is it even open source? Here are some of my thoughts on that, and reasons why

Almost a year ago I left AWS to bootstrap my open source project.

I get asked why create an open source project? Why not close source and get folks to pay....

I want to share my journey with others, so here is my first post.

Honoured to have the incredible @sheenbrisals.bsky.social closing things out today.

Complexity is everywhere; is it time to embrace that complexity?

AWS Serverless hands on part 2/2 At the beginning, I would like to emphasize that this is the second part of our journey. Please read...

dev.to/aws-builders...

Being able to look at example designs and github repos really helps with learning. You can take code and deploy as is or start modifying parts to see the impacts. Using managed and serverless components on AWS allows you to build interesting and scalable apps quickly.(1/3)
