For developers, that means building and delivering impeccable apps to market quickly.

We’re big fans of AWS Lambda at Honeycomb. As you may have read, we recently made some major improvements to our storage engine by leveraging Lambda to process more data in less time.

Founded by U.S. celebrity dermatologist Nicholas Perricone, the company generated sales of $86 million in 2014 and are looking to fetch more than $200 million in a rumoured upcoming sale.

Client libraries are available in all of the major programming languages, and it is provided as a managed service by all of the top cloud service providers.

A month ago, Skeddly added a Disable EBS Fast Snapshot Restores action. This action is a fantastic way to ensure you don’t leave EBS snapshots around with Fast Snapshot Restores enabled. That will just be a waste of money. Today, I’m happy to announce a new Skeddly action: Enable EBS Fast Snapshot Restores. This new action allows you to enable, and optionally disable Fast Snapshot Restores on your EBS snapshots.
