Did you know that Web Sockets don't Pub-Sub?
It's a common myth that Web Sockets provide Pub-Sub, but this is a part of the backend server. To learn more about Web Sockets, check out my latest article on Serverless DNA.

Christmas time means many different things to everyone. There are two things that come to mind for me. Family and peaches.
Family because I get to spend quality time with people who matter so much to me, and peaches because the days before Christmas is when the peaches on my tree ripen!

I'm really proud of my talk at re:Invent this year. It is full of meaty #serverless design with plenty of "Why"'s.
It's a good story, flowing narrative and solid Serverless facts.
Let me know your thoughts - what you liked, did not like or where you want a deeper dive.

My re:Invent 2024 talk Dev-319 is on YouTube now! It covers my experience building a live scoring system for a global sporting event. I enjoyed crafting this story; it provides solid strategies and principles for everyone watching it.

re:Invent is a LOT about networking and meeting people I collaborate with throughout the year. Great to Meetup with the #AWS Powertools for Lambda team!
Was so good to meet you all and take a few minutes to chat and catchup. Look forward to many more collaborations in 2025!

Loving the @valkeyio.bsky.social velocity, so refreshing!
The Valkey community is hard at work developing a high performance vector similarity search implementation, and we're looking for folks interested in providing high level API and directional feedback here: github.com/valkey-io/va.... They'll be a more concrete implementation soon once we're aligned.

At re:Invent I went to the Valkey Mixer where I got to nerd out with @reconditerose.bsky.social about Valkey!
I really admire Madelyn's bravery in taking on the Redis license change head on!
Big thanks to you and all the maintainers who followed - you are the true heroes in this story!!

I wholeheartedly support Anna's message and am appalled at vendors given how much it costs for an expo booth, a few shirts to be more inclusive is 🥜.
I am done with tech t-shirts unless you show me you are being inclusive, and we should all do the same.

As half my timeline is currently posting from #reinvent, please allow me to rant about a topic I care deeply about: swag.
Taking a male cut t-shirt, changing nothing about it other than maybe printing a few extra XS sizes, and calling it “unisex” is not, in fact, unisex.

What is Effe?
🌟A pure event bus without confusing WebSockets
🌟Connectors to transmit your events anywhere!
I like to think of it as EventBridge for FrontEnd!
