Some people seem surprised that I’m heading to AWS re:Invent 2023 in Las Vegas this year. Even if they know that I’ve been to every single re:Invent since it started…
Since its inception in November 2014, AWS Lambda has been one of AWS’s most talked about products.

When it comes to creating quality content assets for high-tech companies at scale, we have noticed the following paradox in the marketplace:
Of course there are exceptional individuals who are both knowledgeable and good writers but, let’s face it, they are few and far between—and, if you find one, worth his weight in gold.
