ECS CLI, Fargate CLI, Copilot CLI, Proton, App Runner: AWS keeps building convenience layers on top of ECS, and keeps killing them. ECS itself has barely changed since 2014. Here's the rule that follows from that.
Same dashboard built twice: once on Kinesis, S3, Glue and Athena, once on Tinybird. Query latency, a live schema change, and what the Glue crawler costs.
A look at a full year of AWS regional outages (StatusGator data plus the early 2026 incidents) and why multi-AZ and multi-region architecture is still one of the hardest things to get right, AI tooling or not.
A Kubernetes cluster can quietly move itself into other availability zones when Spot capacity runs out, and the cross-AZ traffic that follows shows up on the bill with no health signal at all. Here's how it happens and what to change.
The AWS tech stack I use for every fullstack project in 2026 - Lambda with Hono, Postgres, TanStack Start, CDK, EventBridge, and SQS - plus what it costs and why I stopped changing it.
DynamoDB now has native vector search. Learn how to store Titan embeddings next to your items, create a vector index, and use the SearchVectors API to build a related-posts feature without a separate vector database or sync pipeline.
Developers keep shipping s3:* and AdministratorAccess, and it is not laziness. The deploy loop, indirect permissions, policy size limits, and Access Analyzer gaps all push you toward wildcards. Here is what breaks and the account-level setup that works instead.
Stop getting paged at 3am for regional Lambda throttling. Learn why ClaimedAccountConcurrency is the right metric to watch, how to set a CloudWatch alarm at 70% utilization, and how to automate quota increase requests.
Most teams should stay on Lambda and Fargate. At scale, with many teams and a platform org, EKS with Flux, Helm, and Karpenter becomes the right call. Here's the GitOps starter blueprint and the mental model behind it.
A point-by-point response to the viral Hacker News post about leaving AWS. Most of the complaints are skill issues, but a few are fair. Here is my honest take from someone who has run AWS at scale for years.
The AgentCore harness preview pairs a managed runtime, server-side conversation memory, per-session microVMs, multi-provider model support, and streamed observability so you can ship an agent on AWS without writing the orchestration loop.
Running database migrations in your CI pipeline sounds simple until you hit ordering and breaking changes. Here's how additive vs. destructive migrations and a backwards-compatible, migrations-first strategy keep deployments safe.
