Webinar: Building Serverless Flows with AWS Step Functions

AWS Step Functions are an emerging solution in the field of serverless architectures, as they provide capabilities to coordinate between many services. This webinar takes the "Right to be forgotten" (GDPR) workflow as an example of a hands-on AWS Step Functions tutorial: use-cases, difficulties, and solutions. Combining Cloudway's experience with Lumigo's monitoring and debugging solution, we provide a full framework to manage multiple subsystems into a single serverless flow and get the work done.

Webinar: How to Monitor Serverless Applications

The software we write does not always work as smoothly as we'd like. To know if something went wrong, find the root cause, and fix the problem, we need to monitor our system and get alerts whenever issues pop up. There are many useful tools and practices for non-serverless applications. As we adopt serverless architecture can we continue to use the same approach? Unfortunately, the answer is no.

Mike Rahmati: My Serverless journey with Cloud Conformity

Mike Rahmati is the Head of the Advisory Board at Dashbird. He is the Co-Founder and CTO of Cloud Conformity (acquired by Trend Micro) – a Cloud Security Posture Management Solution – one of the largest and earliest adopters of serverless. Mike is also an active AWS Community Hero. In this article, he shares his journey and experience with serverless. Cloud Conformity was founded in 2014 as a result of our own experience of issues migrating to the cloud.

Datadog on Serverless

The Datadog Security Platform team leverages Serverless to ingest security events across many different cloud providers, deployment platforms, and devices. These security events are then transformed and shipped to a data lake to help defend and protect the platform as a whole. Once there, these ingested events are used to drive internal investigations, create internal security alerts, and reason about security incidents.

How to Expose and protect Logic App using Azure API Management (Part 4) - Delete a Logic Apps expose as an API or operation

You may be thinking, hey Sandro, what the hell? That is basic information and a straightforward task. Why do you want to write about that? Indeed it is, and you are right that it is an effortless and straightforward operation, at least at first glance. But like most things, nothing is that simple if you look closer. But let me explain better. Let’s imagine that we have an API call MoniorBizTalkPorts.

Passing the "Is it Working?" Test with Serverless Architectures Is Not Enough

Say you are an awesome developer sitting contentedly at your desk when a Slack message suddenly interrupts your peaceful mental flow: It would appear there is a data issue with the new Activity History service released last month… Or at least a couple people think there is. Now, instead of making progress on new tasks, you now need to drop those and look into what’s happening here. Sigh.

Choosing the right event-routing service for serverless: EventBridge, SNS, or SQS

Serverless is synonymous with Event-Driven Architecture, where Events are a fundamental block of information that is passed around to execute certain application logic. It is very important that events are delivered to the right destination with expected behavior to make sure the whole serverless application works as one. Events are relayed from one place to another through communication services, either in sequence or in parallel.

Serverless - Is This Only a Buzzword?

There’s a lot of talk about serverless computing lately, especially with the big tech giants investing in the idea and offering exclusive products built on it. But is it just a buzzword, or does it have the potential to become the next big thing in technology? Cloud computing was once a buzzword, too, one may argue. But that buzzword ended up revolutionizing the whole industry, with 90 percent of companies now using cloud hosting.
