Amazon MemoryDB multi-region is now generally available. If you're a dist sys geek, you may be interested to know that this multi-region active-active eventually consistent database is based on conflict-free replicated data types (CRDTs).

Setting up AWS resources with click-ops works for quick tests but you should be using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools. There are many IaC choices on AWS like Cloud Development Kit (CDK), Serverless Application Model (SAM) and Terraform. SAM is detailed below. (1/4)

I made EventCatalog technology agnostic, I wanted to give anyone the ability to document their event-driven architecture regardless of their technology.

This decision is starting to pay off now.

You can document any schemas in EventCatalog (protobuf, JSON, avro, Thrift, XML etc) with any broker.

So, this is cool. Amazon ECS just released predictive scaling. Predictive Scaling proactively increases the desired task count based on historical patterns. This improves availability & responsiveness, while enabling cost savings by needing less over-provisioning. aws.amazon.com/blogs/contai...

It is unbelievable how the NL government taxes on hypothetical values (e.g. expected ROI or max offer a house could get) and protects lobbies (tax not on land registry value but on a value determined by an appraiser).

Is inclusion really about everyone being involved in decisions and everyone's opinion having the same weight regardless of roles and seniority?
If so, have you ever seen a company where every single decision is made by all the people?

I am wondering if anybody thought or tried to extend Siren to binary serialization with Protobuf / Flatbuffers / Cap'n Proto

application/vnd.siren+protobuf
application/vnd.siren+flatbuffers
application/vnd.siren+capnproto

I am wondering if the amazing @event_catalog by @boyney123 integrates with Confluent Platform / Confluent Cloud Schema Registry.

It would be great to hear what @mamund thinks about the possibility of using UBER or Siren with Protobuf instead of JSON.
