Had a passing thought this weekend, ended up being large enough to warrant a blog article. Might start doing more impromptu smaller posts, feels good to get my thoughts out and share more frequently! Anyway, I think you should build your own tools: aschmelyun.com/blog/build-y...

Awesome work by the folks at AWS that implemented this! AWS now prevents OIDC misconfigurations with many popular third-parties. docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/U... This is an issue I described here: www.wiz.io/blog/avoidin...

How do you get eyes on your writing? You’ve got to know what your audience wants to read. @malithr.com explains why he knew his blog post on the Managed NAT Gateway would catch the attention of @quinnypig.com www.lastweekinaws.com/podcast/scre...

From chemical engineering to DevOps, the career path for @malithr.com is as unique as his AWS visualizations. You can hear all about his passions on the latest episode of Screaming in the Cloud: www.lastweekinaws.com/podcast/scre...

Working on something new - but need your help! What are your favorite examples of using caching to solve problems at large scale? Small scale? Have any caching (horror) stories? I'm all ears.

I will assume we’re a streaming company trying to reduce S3 costs, at least for the first part. After uploading the objects, the user will see a year-long access pattern graph to help choose the correct storage class. I’ll implement that next.

I am working on an S3 Storage Class blog. I am still figuring out what content I want to include and what it should look like. So far, this is what I've got.

✨ In March 2023, I published an article about AI. This was right after OpenAI showcased how GPT4 could turn a hand-drawn sketch of a website into real HTML/CSS/JS. The consensus online was that FE jobs would stop existing within 1-2 years. Well, it’s been 2 years! So, I just published a follow-up:

New cartoon: Type of GitHub users comicss.art/comics/180/ #github #cartoon #css

I was one of the takers; Sam gave excellent feedback. My only regret is not reaching out sooner. It’s easier to apply feedback before hitting publish; shiny object syndrome is real.

"I fought a DDoS and lived to tell the tale" is one of my favourite blog posts. It's been many months since I read it, but I remember it whenever I think of WAF. Give it a read; I promise it will be worth it. open.substack.com/pub/funkbyte...

Of course I found out about this because @quinnypig.com - finder of all things cool/interesting in the AWS ecosystem (as well as snark poster extraordinaire) - put it into the TL.

This is one of those “wow” posts you see and think “how cool is that!”

This post is amazingly done, full stop. It’s more impressive when you get to the end and realize it’s the author’s first post.

My interactive AWS NAT Gateway blog post is now published. Check it out at malithr.com/aws/natgatew....

Working on my first blog post about AWS NAT Gateway! I made it interactive to keep things interesting. I have a bit of polishing to do, but it should be done in the next few days!
