BRICKETS PLEASE! Announcing the arrival of brick phone-compatible bus tickets on the ShuttleID platform. This innovation enables passengers to use bus tickets in a printed format, on smartphones, and now on brick phones. More info: shuttleid.uk/brickets-schoo…

GET IIIIIINNNNNNN!!! 😅😅😅

@paulgrav Thanks Paul! It is tempting but I just can’t comprehend how anyone can do what I did today.. twice 🤯. You going for it?

✅ First half marathon Big thank you to the @runforall pacers that practically dragged me across the finish line! #LeedsHalfMarathon

@dagorenouf Doing a demo and a “staff member” joins the call. Goes well but then shortly after the prospect announces working with a diff company. “Staff member” turns out to be a PM at this diff company, and they’re now posting screenshot of our product as their own. MFs are diabolical.

Me before my startup had copycats: Copycats don't matter, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery 😍 Me 2 minutes after discovering a copycat: Who is this?! I will find them and I will destroy them 🤬

@alexwestco Congrats Alex. Did I see that right you were at $75k/y only as recent as Jan?! That’s impressive. Looks like you’ve unlocked a game changer by offering services too.

Started CyberLeads 2.5 years ago with: - No employees - No offices - No funding - While working a full time job Now it's at $250k/year. A standard 4x exit multiple puts it's valuation at $1M. Conclusion: You can build a $1M business with almost zero resources.

@paulgrav The footage from the Sky News team getting shot at is insane.

🚨 NEW! 🚨 Today we launch our new LIVE add-on which enables live vehicle tracking and real-time ticket scanning data, all within a single low-cost system for school bus services. shuttleid.uk/school-bus-tra… #school #transport #vehicletracking #safeguarding

This is years overdue but I’m so glad it’s here “AWS Lambda now supports partial batch response for SQS as an event source” aws.amazon.com/about-aws/what…

@txase I had this use case a while back and ran through pretty much all the above. The one other idea I had was to use Azure function to trigger the Lambda (via API gateway). Azure function looks to be able handle sub minute crons. Might be worth a look: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/az…

Serverless bat signal! Anyone know of a way to trigger a Lambda fn at a frequency of 5-10 seconds? I want to do this for a side project, but the only thing I’m aware of is CW Events with a granularity of once per minute.

Hello I'm Vincent 🤓 👩‍💻 15+ yrs experience in software engineering 🧑‍🎤 past 5 in the FP world JS/TS/Haskell/PS 🔎 I've been trying really hard to get a new role due to redundancy 🏡 remote 👨‍🏫 love teaching & learning 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 please help me reach outside my network Links in 🧵👇

Item Explorer in new DynamoDB console seems quite buggy. Nearly had a heart attack when only one record consistently came back after a query, switch to old interface and all the precious data returns. Think I'll stick with the old console until it matures a bit.

Now this is very interesting. 🤓

Per ms billing! As a Yorkshireman, I approve of this change

Had my first play with S3 data exports from DynamoDB processed with Athena today. This will unlock some major reporting capabilities (OLAP) for customers using DDB as their primary data store and I’m already getting a lot of value from it. #serverless #aws

@alex_casalboni @dynamodb Hell yes. 🚀

New – Export @dynamodb table data to your data lake in Amazon S3, no code writing required 👌 aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-…

@hichaelmart @alexbdebrie Intrigued!

Have wanted this ever since DynamoDB launched – this is great!

@webmonkeyash Enjoyed following your journey Ash, inspiring 👏

Ignore the doubters. One I didn’t expect but I’ve had my fair share of negative comments or people suggesting I’m not being honest. Absolute bollocks, 🖕to those people

Today marks the halfway point in my journey, 6 months into running carmats.co.uk. Key stats so far: 📈 12,698 orders 💰 £459,534 in sales 👨‍💻 46% of the way to £1 million But it’s not all about the sales or sexy graphs. Here’s some things I’ve learnt along the way 👇

Finally! This has been a pain to deal with on serverless stacks. Typically resource limit would always bite at the worst possible time. Really glad to see this drop. 🥳

@GlennTownsend @firstserv I've tried calling, live chat and email. No updates on any medium, it's crazy. I'm starting my migration now. Good luck Glenn.

@cabdesigns @firstserv Same here. No numbers to call, can't use firstserv support as doesn't recognise me even though they take my money!

@firstserv The GB Servers website has gone down along with one of my servers I've used for years. Help?
