Calling a flow from another flow is nothing new. Makers can wire up multiple flows using the HTTP Request Trigger and HTTP Action. While this is possible, it creates additional friction as makers have to manually construct request and response messages using JSON. Microsoft recently provided first-class support for calling a flow from another flow by introducing a new action called Run a Child Flow.

Cloud, microservices, Kubernetes — all these bleeding-edge technologies revolutionizing the way applications are built and deployed are also a huge security headache. Modern IT environments are increasingly comprised of more and more components and layers, each of generating growing amounts of data. In most organizations, more data is a double-edged sword.

AWS recently launched the Serverless Event Bus, AWS EventBridge. Some have described it as an extension of CloudWatch Events, while others say it is provides the same features as AWS SNS. So, what exactly is EventBridge? And how does it fit into the existing AWS serverless ecosystem?

Did you know ringtones in the PagerDuty mobile app are one of the most-requested features customers contact us about? And have you ever wondered what makes a good ringtone and how we come up with them? Imagine the following: You’re on an on-call rotation with no end in sight.
