Oh wow, I hadn’t heard. I just met up with some folks we worked together with way back and our reminiscences included Ian. So sorry to hear he passed.

Happy for you and that you are ready to share this!

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

🚀 "Wait, JSONata can do WHAT with AWS Step Functions?!"

If you use #AWS Step Functions (or want to), these 2 new features—JSONata + Variables—will save you time, money, and sanity.

Let’s break it down ⤵️

Real-time push notifications can be accomplished using different approaches but using the services mentioned in the video make it quite easy. Tools like Step Functions, Eventbridge, and more are involved. (2/2)

YouTube video by AWS Developers Simplify Integrations with Private APIs using Amazon EventBridge and AWS Step Functions

Ok check it out, if you are interested in getting rid of those proxies when calling private APIs from Step Functions or EventBridge, I made a video -> www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVO5...

Ya, they played super well. Incredible game.

Oh Canada!

Nice start to the game

Finally deleted Twitter (I refuse to use the new name) from my phone. I’d stopped paying attention in general, but was still finding my way over there once in a while. Really doesn’t seem to be any good reason to anymore though.

The new Don Ross vocal album Don does his first all-vocal album since 2009, focusing on songs by Canadian songwriters

Don Ross is a Canadian musical legend. He funded his last album through kickstarter and is looking to do it again, but needs help to get this one over the line. This is an awesome way to help an independent artist! Please think about backing.

Want to learn more about the recent #eventbridge and #stepfunctions Private API Integration launch? The presentation Uma, @embano1.mgasch.com, and I made at #reinvent is up! Lots of detail right “from the horse’s mouth”. m.youtube.com/watch?v=9YoK...

Expense report submitted. I am inordinately happy with myself. #reinvent

I wonder if anyone sells collision insurance for walking the halls at #reinvent?

Hazelnut?

I was going to wait until after my code talk this afternoon, to see if you come and heckle me ….

Whoa, this floor is seriously messing with my senses. #reinvent

Huge launch! EventBridge and Step Functions can now invoke APIs deployed inside your VPCs. Building on the VPC Resources over PrivateLink that also went live today. Awesome partnership with these teams to make this happen! Excited for how it will simplify modernization!

I have concur. I used to upload them to WorkDocs then use my laptop after.

I might need a few demos first, so let’s have you try taking mine. As you know, I’m a slow learner, but after 10 tries I am sure we will get there ….

Me too. Then I fell off that wagon. Here hoping this is a longer ride!
