AWS Lambda under the Hood
Mike Danilov, a senior principal engineer at AWS, presented on AWS Lambda and what is under the hood during QCon San Francisco 2023. This article represents the talk, which will start with an introduction to Lambda itself to outline the key concepts of the service and its fundamentals, which will facilitate a deep dive into the understanding of the system.

How to Use Rust Procedural Macros to Replace Panic with syn’s Fold
In this article, we show how you can write advanced macros to step through Rust code and modify it. Using the standard tooling available in the syn crate, we first show how to change the occurrence of a panic into an Err. Then we go a step beyond and use the Fold trait to recursively step through the entire function, automatically executing a change in every applicable location.

The Hidden Cost of Using Managed Databases
The rising popularity of managed relational databases brings hidden costs, and informed decisions are crucial for optimal use. This article shows the importance of monitoring service expenses, revising default settings, and understanding operational constraints, considering limitations like reduced flexibility and observability.

Spring Boot 3.2 and Spring Framework 6.1 Add Java 21, Virtual Threads, and CRaC
Spring Framework 6.1 and Spring Boot 3.2 run on Java 21. They make concurrent programming simpler and more efficient with virtual threads, as well as improving reactive programming and Kotlin coroutines. For “Scale to Zero” startup time reduction, the OpenJDK project CRaC received initial support, while the existing GraalVM Native Image integration got faster through a GraalVM release.

How Platform and Site Reliability Engineering Are Evolving DevOps
Companies are now looking to grow and more effectively manage DevOps with platform engineering and site reliability engineering roles. No one has these roles perfectly carved out right now — there’s just too much to do and not enough people to do it — but knowing where these three disciplines do and don’t overlap will help organizations evolve and take advantage when they are ready.

Understanding Architectures for Multi-Region Data Residency
This article focuses on implementing data residency strategies for a positive stakeholder experience. It underscores the need to diversify data locations, driven by motivations like disaster recovery and geo-redundancy. The core principle is data distribution, ensuring specific sets reside in distinct regions without overlap - a practice termed data residency.

Beyond API Compatibility: Understanding the Full Impact of Breaking Changes
In this article, we address the most contentious and misinterpreted parts of the SemVer standard, i.e backward compatibility and breaking changes. With the proliferation of SaaS APIs for Generative AI continuing, now is a good time for a retrospection on what constitutes a breaking change and how you can trade off backward compatibility and upgradability with modernization and iterability.
