Curious about the nuances of event-driven systems? Check out my video on Public vs Private Events - it breaks down the concepts in a clear, concise way. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refresh your knowledge, this one's worth a watch!

Opening keynote with @noctovis.bsky.social at @ndcconferences.com at #NDCoslo this morning!

@noctovis.bsky.social bringing the truth. No AI tool is claiming they are perfect, they are all filled with disclaimers. Which means YOU are still responsible for the auto tab completed, AI generated big ball of mud that hits production. It's still your responsibility.

Fantastic keynote by @noctovis.bsky.social at @ndcconferences.com #ndcoslo

Much needed reality check at @ndcconferences.com Oslo opening keynote. Laila Bougria (@noctovis.bsky.social) explaining coding vs production grade software and how AI fits into that I'm fangirling hard 😍😍

@noctovis.bsky.social absolutely smashing it in the @ndcconferences.com Oslo keynote. 🎉

Had an absolute blast delivering a full two day workshop on Rust for .NET developers at @ndcconferences.com Oslo. First sleep, then the main conference itself for the next 3 days. #dotnet #rust #rustlang

Is SnapStart really a game-changer for .NET on Lambda? 🤔 This video explores the performance and it's potential as a modernization tool. And see how a new feature to pre-warm your endpoints can transform your application's readiness and performance. youtu.be/c68hefro7TE #serverless #aws #lambda

Attention serverless devs! Don't miss this crucial tip for building modern applications. It's a game-changer that could save you time and headaches. Check out my video to learn more: www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0O5... #ServerlessTips #CloudComputing

Every 10-20 years, a breakthrough technology promises non-developers to finally create software without needing to hire programmers. So far, every such technology resulted in the need for more devs… expert in this NEW technology (or knowing how to fix it up). Every. Time.

Excited (and a little bit nervous) to be delivering #Rust for .NET developers at @ndcconferences.com Oslo this week. If you've followed me for a while, you'll know how much I love Rust. And I can't wait to show you all how to build resilient, evolvable and performant business apps with Rust.

Where has the Serverless community gone? ⁉️ Is it just on LinkedIn pretty much now, as X/Twitter and BlueSky are dead it seems? 😴🫥 In years gone by engagement, posts, collabs, and banter was high… 📉

This has been a great read 👌 if you're into science, health and understanding how our bodies work then 10/10 would recommend. It's pretty science-y though.

Day 36 of learning Rust as a C# dev: I built my first CLI app in Rust! Used clap, wrangled modules, and finally saw it all click together. It was fast, clean, and honestly? Kinda fun. Here’s the story: woodruff.dev/building-a-c... #RustLang #CSharp #DotNet #LearnRust #RustForCSharpDevs

An interesting little inclusion in the service terms for the new AWS Transform service 😳 Excellent spot @quinnypig.com #aws www.lastweekinaws.com/blog/aws-tra...

Been using Cursor for an Expo/React Native app, and it’s awesome at the start, but the more you get into the nitty gritty design the more you need to either a.) manually do or b.) be super super super specific with prompts, in my experience.. otherwise…

Looking to supercharge your Postgres performance? Check out my video on optimizing Postgres with Cloudflare and Rust. Whether you're a database pro or just getting started, there's something for everyone. Watch now:

@jameseastham.co.uk always brings super interesting takes! Check out this podcast if you are passionate about #Serverless!

I had a lot of fun chatting to @paulchinjr.bsky.social on the Talking Serverless podcast. A wide ranging chat covering event-driven architecture, observability and testing asynchronous systems. Check it out 👍 open.spotify.com/episode/6drN...

Ever thought Lambda functions were just simple functions? Think again! In my new video, I explain why good code design is crucial for maintainable applications. Find out how to create a modular code base that's easy to evolve, test, and adapt. youtu.be/7ZRIf-tKGq0 #aws #serverless #dotnet

Revisiting some performance testing for .NET Lambda functions deployed as a ZIP file vs a container image and the container images are looking GOOOOOOODDD. Plus, you get all the benetifs of tooling that comes with managing containers. #serverless

Dive into the overlooked aspects of Event-Driven Architecture! My video explores a crucial concept that could transform your approach. If you're working with EDA, this might be the missing piece you need. Check it out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=mM80... #EventDrivenArchitecture #SoftwareDesign

I feel incredibly lucky to travel and do the things I do as part of my job. Equally though, damn is it good to be at home 🏠🏠

it annoys me to see AI "art" appear in my fellow conference speakers' talks, except where it's being used for jest/satire or for analysis/criticism. if you have no budget, unsplash is right that way, otherwise, pay an illustrator ffs.

Australia, it's been an absolute blast. But now the long journey home begins 😳😳😳

If you're using AWS Lambda Cloudwatch logs are now up to 10x cheaper, great announcement 👌👌

Most messaging services guarantee AT LEAST ONCE delivery. Yep, that's right... You'll receive the same message at least once, and maybe more than once. So how do you solve for that? Watch on and find out... youtu.be/ufHA8cC7kgc #architecture #eventdrivenarchitecture #software

Curious about choreography in system design? I've got you covered! Check out my video where I break down this important concept and its role in creating scalable, efficient systems. Watch now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUq4... #SystemDesign #SoftwareArchitecture

Debuting a brand new talk is always pretty stressful, will it resonate, does the narrative flow work, will people be engaged. Do people even care?? Incredibly pleased with how that went, some great questions and feedback. Now it's time to adapt, evolve and take it on the road. #serverless

I'm excited to announce that my 4th #Dometrain course has just gone live! 🥳 This is on the amazing #dotnet Aspire!! It covers everything you need to know and includes all the latest 9.2 goodness! It's the last day of the birthday sale! Get 40% off with this link... dometrain.com/course/getti...

Is anyone using .NET Aspire inside GitHub Actions? Use case being I want to spin up my resources to run some tests against. Previously, I would use `docker compose up -d` but as far as I know there's no way to do `dotnet run -d`. #dotnet #aspire CC @davidfowl.com @maddymontaquila.net

I'll also be running this workshop live at @ndcconferences.com Oslo (May 19th) and Copengen (September 8th). #rust #dotnet

Are you a .NET develoepr who's seen all the hype around Rust and wanting to learn more? Maybe you've seen the hype, but also seen the deep systems programming and sharp learning curve. rustfor.net #rust #rustlang #dotnet #dotnetdevelopers

Day 17 of learning Rust as a C# dev: Rust’s match is what I always wanted switch to be. No fallthrough, no missing cases, just clean, safe pattern matching that works. Here’s why it feels like switch on steroids: woodruff.dev/match-switch... #RustLang #CSharp #DotNet #LearnRust #RustForCSharpDevs
