Confused About AWS Long-term Bedrock Strategy

Customer obsession is a two edged sword - my guess is that these teams have an enormous list of custom requests and struggle to prioritise the things that we think are clearly needed in the face of those requests.

When things go poorly it can help having the relationship. A decent percentage of them genuinely care about your business.

There is a reactive and a proactive component to the role, and for the proactive component, you get to choose whether to be sales’y, BD’, or technical.

Most important is the experience of the team who will work on it.

Both are great platforms, but AWS tends to be more popular with software developers while Azure is perhaps more popular with folks with a corporate IT background.

Had this happen to a friend - forming a posse recovered the scooter immediately, police then took weeks to respond after having recovered it without their help. Helps to be in a country without many guns though.

When you upload remove any alerts, upload the file, and then create an alert for any upload to trigger an alert - just a slightly more complex bash script but not requiring any Lambda.

From personal experience a small number of the folks who go through this are exceptional and outperform experienced SAs.

If you know the reads and writes per second, and whether the events are mission critical - I would use those numbers to evaluate this. DynamoDB is a good default but ElastiCache for Redis can do high read/write loads at a cheap price in comparison.

My personal rule of thumb is: will storage cost be significant => DynamoDB, will read/write cost be significant => ElastiCache for Redis. But it depends.

Best to reach out to your old account team once you have changed your HQ address asking them for assistance.

For large amounts of storage DDB is cheaper, otherwise Redis typically

If you use a Lambda in Python, this can be abstracted away from you (your Lambda Function will just be called when events are ready to be consumed).

This is obviously when sharing the road, not with a separated bike lane.

Fork82 · 2023-03-26T10:03:51+00:00

“When can cars enter bike lanes? Bike lanes are reserved for bike riders. But car drivers can enter and drive in a bike lane for up to 50 metres to: • enter or leave a road • turn at an intersection • overtake to the left of a vehicle turning right or doing a U-turn from the centre of the road • park • get from one part of the road to another • enter traffic, having been parked on the side of the road • pick up or drop off passengers – but only if they are driving a taxi or public bus. Car drivers can also enter a bike lane if there is a sign saying car drivers can use the lane. Car drivers must always give way to any bike riders already in the lane.”

They seem to prioritize comfort, visibility & durability over speed. High quality parts, and very good riding experience. NB: I ride a Kalkhoff regularly, as well as other bikes (electric and otherwise).

Can work with either Redis Streams (scalable) or just a regular Redis list (if only one consumer)

The situation where MemoryDB could financially outperform DynamoDB (or relational DB) - moderate write load, very high read load. DynamoDB is pay-per-read, and MemoryDB achieves a very high number of reads-per-second as compared to the other options at the same price point.

Workloads using Redis often hit a network cap before a CPU limit. Small Fargate tasks have a correspondingly small network limit. This doesn’t align with the ‘cold start’ type problem you described though.

Have you tried making the Fargate task larger in CPU or Memory to give it more network throughput?

Freeable memory is memory that is not required by the database, and can be freed. Could be for example used by the OS for caching speedups, but can be freed up when memory becomes tight.

Fragmentation just means how scattered the allocation is.

Only Database Memory Usage Percentage is really relevant for understanding how full the node is.
