    Can you use ECS without DevOps

    Use your imagination and assume that some team was encouraged to migrate from Azure AppService. It was a decision at a high level, so the small dev team needs to migrate into AWS.

    How to use Lambda as a glue?

    Sailing with AWS Lightsail

    I have a daughter! What a piece of news, isn't it? I can also add again the same line: Newsletter is very time-consuming, and being a consultant is time-consuming. Everything is time-consuming. However, I had some spare time to play a bit with a small client's project. For example, not everyone needs cutting-edge …

    After a long break(again!) - I'm back. Older, more tired, and handsome as always. Newsletter is very time-consuming, and being a consultant is time-consuming. Everything is time-consuming.

    Welcome Long time no sea. It's not a typo last time when I saw the see was in September in Greece. Almost the same thing I can say about Ansible.
