Thank you for pointing that out! You are correct, μs stands for microseconds, not picoseconds. I've corrected the mistake, and the update should be visible as soon as the CDN cache invalidates.

Fun fact: it probably took more time to write up and refine the blog post than it did to hunt down that sneaky 40ms savings.

I'm the author of the post. You raise a good point about relative savings. Based on last week's data, our change reduced the task time by 40ms from an average of 3440ms, and this task runs 11 million times daily. This translates to a saving of about 1% on compute.

It is amazing how much one can achieve with so little code. I would dare to say that such demos are a kind of...indie art?

Can you give us some pointers, which APIs and algorithms did you use to generate the demo? I bet it will be an interesting lesson on math and web

In my mind there are two aspects on the matter:

License - what AWS did is "legal", most commercial software is built on top of OSS.

Decency - what AWS did was mean. They should at least acknowledge the author.

Worst possible outcome of this thread: the community will become scared of big corporations stealing their hard work - this will stifle OSS creativity.

Looks nice and simple. Adding puppeteer playwright on AWS lambda is also possible, but requires some effort to configure right

I am asking out of curiosity: is it possible & legal to set up a simple proxy server to redirect analytics data to the provider? So that the analytics traffic goes to the same domain - and is not blocked?

This list gives me shivers...is the USA a scary, uncivilized country?

It seems that this startup was successful in finding product market fit but was killed because of co-founders mismatch.

I am planning to start a business with my fiancée, we have been together for 10 years, and we complement each other nicely in terms of skills. What are your experiences with that?

Can you integrate it with bluetooth beacons?
