And even cooler is Spot, the robot dog with a great demo of Spot “holding” a camera that someone physically unable to operate can do so remotely!

Lovely to be at ServerlessDays Cardiff. Always a fantastic event. A mix of public sector orgs doing some very impressive Serverless things + others. How about starting with a government Chief Engineer, Dimitris Perdikou.

Awesome observation. I hadn’t thought of that!

When I moved from America to New Zealand the traffic lights bothered me. They were low and positioned at the corners of the intersection.

US traffic lights seemed better: suspended overhead, centered above the lanes.

It wasn't until 6 months later that I realized how stupidly America-brained I was

Daniele Frasca up next talking all things multi-region serverless architecture. Love seeing real world applications of things like cell based architecture.

Not relevant for everyone, but a powerful pattern to be aware of at scale.

I swear the things AWS manages to squeeze out of their data centers should be classified as black magic. You can now create instant copies of EBS volumes with single-digit millisecond latency. Sounds simple - but this is an amazing feat of engineering.

If you ask someone today to name the builder of Hadrian's Wall, they would give you a funny look. But historical memory is odd, and right up to the 1800s we forgot who built it.

Until in 1840 John Hodgson, an obscure Northumbrian clergyman, published the LONGEST footnote in history... 1/22

long stretch of worked roman stone on Hadrian's Wall.

New blog post, reflecting on nearly seven years since the Firecracker launch, and how we're using Firecracker to power serverless databases (in Aurora DSQL) and infrastructure for AI agents (in Bedrock AgentCore).
