Item Explorer in new DynamoDB console seems quite buggy. Nearly had a heart attack when only one record consistently came back after a query, switch to old interface and all the precious data returns. Think I'll stick with the old console until it matures a bit.

Now this is very interesting. 🤓
Container Image support for #AWSLambda. Will help you simplify your build/deployment of #serverless applications. lots more to do

Per ms billing! As a Yorkshireman, I approve of this change

Had my first play with S3 data exports from DynamoDB processed with Athena today. This will unlock some major reporting capabilities (OLAP) for customers using DDB as their primary data store and I’m already getting a lot of value from it. #serverless #aws

Finally! This has been a pain to deal with on serverless stacks. Typically resource limit would always bite at the worst possible time. Really glad to see this drop. 🥳
Love to see this. Has been top 5 on my #awswishlist for a while. 🚀 You shouldn't use >200 resources in many stacks, but certain use cases (REST APIs w/ APIGW) can easily exceed that.

So it looks like you can't project nested non key attributes (e.g. row.name.first) on a GSI, but you can use them in projected expressions on a query? 🤔 Feels like that should be doable: stackoverflow.com/questions/… #dynamodb

If you cried at Bolton, if you got soaked at Histon, if you got humiliated at Hereford, if you felt broken after Derby last season. This is why you put yourself through it. This is why you stuck it out. Bury it all.

So this one seems to have flown under the radar quite a bit; Stripe have just announced they now support Bacs Direct Debit, launching on the older GoCardless pricing model (1%/tx 20p min - max £2). Very interesting. stripe.com/gb/payments/bacs-…
