Haven't used pandas in a while, but Copy-on-Write sounds pretty cool! Is there any public benchmark I can check in 2026?

The maximum payload is 6MB for synchronous invocations and 128KB for asynchronous invocations.

More info here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/limits.html

"the six-month anniversary"? lol

I'd recommend using a framework such as the Serverless Framework[1], Chalice[2], Dawson[3], or Zappa[4]. As any other (web) development project, using a framework will alleviate a big part of the pain involved with a new technology.

Anyways, I'd recommend starting from learning the tools without using a framework first. You can find two coding sessions I published on Youtube[5][6].

Absolutely! Efficiency and cost will change drastically by using a columnar format!

You can download these files:

- resources: https://littlealchemy.com/resources/base.560.json

- names: https://littlealchemy.com/resources/en/names.560.json

Then you can run this Python code to extract/merge into one single file:

  import json

  with open('res.json', 'r') as f, open('names.json', 'r') as ff:
      res = json.load(f)
      names = json.load(ff)

  for res_id, res_name in names.iteritems():
      print("%s:" % res_name)
      for id1, id2 in res[str(res_id)].get('parents', []):
          print("\t %s + %s" % (names[str(id1)], names[str(id2)]))

Expected output:

  glacier:
  	 ice + mountain
  cart:
  	 wheel + wood
  nerd:
  	 human + glasses
  doctor:
  	 human + hospital
  wagon:
  	 cart + horse
  newspaper:
  	 paper + paper
  paper:
  	 wood + pressure

It really depends on how you use it. If you structure your code well and you mostly use it to build RESTful APIs (which is what dawson is meant for), you will be able to easily migrate it to any other system. Especially if you use Lambda + RDS, you won't need too much work to re-deploy the same database and functions elsewhere (either another serverless vendor or your own infrastructure).

(no videos though)

Well, everything is still based on CPU registers, but I guess everybody here prefers the abstraction provided by C, Python, Java, Ruby, JavaScript, or Go.

Yes, I think you can do much better with IAM. Experienced AWS users will not follow such a suggestion, as I suppose that doc is meant to provide a quickstart for beginners.

Mostly serverless web applications in JS (and Python coming soon!), served with CloudFront (static S3 files) and API Gateway (dynamic APIs).

I think showing latency is useless without the corresponding throughput (req/s).

RIP RAM

Nice but pretty useless for 99% of web users.

Here is a Python serverside implementation:

Note: the video is hosted on YT, but you can find the whole transcript plus some useful links and screenshots below the player.

Also, I would like to gather some feedback and ideas for my next webinar later this month. It will be an advanced coding session about AWS Lambda, covering more complex scenario such as Alexa Skills, Kinesis, Cognito, CloudFormation, etc.

Thank you all.

If you are wondering about the JS code:

Wow. Is this compatible with AWS, Load Balancers, etc.?

Note: the same error is thrown on Safari in private browsing mode.

It's just against every software engineering best practices. You find a library which implements what you want/need? You don't copy&paste 10% of it into your repository just to make sure it won't ever brake. What if it's broken already? They will fix it and your version won't be updated. This logic is not even ok with your own code, why should it be promoted with somebody else's code?

"Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V"? This is so wrong...

You can find it here, for free:

Many of those scripts will most likely fail within a few weeks, as their data extraction logic is way too simplistic and based on unstable and non-semantic HTML structures (i.e. doc.cssselect('small a')[0] ).

Well, AWS's costs have been constantly decreasing during the last years. I am actually quite impressed with the new RDS Aurora update, both as far as performance and pricing. Especially since migrating from MySQL is as complex as a configuration switch, with a 5x increase in performance!

I think everybody forgets to shut down an instance or two, at least once.

Luckily, you can experiment a lot within the Free Tier, especially for tests and simulations.

Anyways, which size and what kind of database were you migrating? Have you tried Aurora yet?

Showing that it gets indexes does not show how well it would rank wrt normally visible text, though.

Wow! That is awesome, seriously mind-blowing and fun to play with!

Not really, unless you store the whole site on S3/CloudFront.

Although not being able to access your JS resources might be enough to hide your submit URL.

That's exactly the point.

I believe "common" developers are totally fine with it, they always need some sort of abstraction layer. On the contrary, the (quickly growing) data scientists community is not: they need full control for their specific use cases and will never blindly use a black box API.
