Super happy to announce that, we, the three Serverless musketeers (@gojkoadzic, @slobodan_ and me), are writing a new book “Real-time GraphQL applications with AppSync” :)

We were very early huh @simalexan

I built a Claude Code notification system that uses Warcraft III Peon voice lines. It's probably the stupidest thing I've ever shipped. And according to everybody that has used it, it's also incredibly useful. (sound on)

Cowork but with local models not to send all your data to a remote cloud!

AWS Meetup Belgrade Dec 25 5:30 PM- join us at our in-person event at the end of this year. We will review the latest releases from AWS straight from Las Vegas re:invent that has just finished. It will be a friendly, open discussion on what's cool, what is boring and general direction AWS is going. Organizing this event for you: @simalexan @extraequal and @goranopacic meetup.com/awsugbelgrade/eve…

This year's Now Go Build Award goes to Raphael Quisumbing @RaphaelFra20009—a true "renaissance developer." He builds communities, mentors others, and translates tech into real solutions. Kudos to all 265 AWS Heroes across 58 countries leading the way. Now, go build!

After almost 11 years, it's time for a new organization team to take over the @JSBelgrade meetup. The journey started in December 2014, when @ispijac_kafe and I decided to organize our first JavaScript meetup and start the first (as far as I know) JavaScript meetup group in Belgrade. Even in the first meetup, we met some awesome people who quickly became friends, including @simalexan (who also became our coorganizer), @dejan_dimic, and several others. Everything went smoothly until covid. We had many monthly meetups (with amazing speakers, the list would be too long), countless Coffeejs meetups, and some great free workshops. We met many awesome people. And, I personally learned a lot! However, after covid, many things changed, and with our limited free time, the meetup was no longer a priority. We organized a few events, just to keep it alive. And then, last year, @simalexan and I met Ilija. He just started the Belgradejs meetup group, and we recognized the enthusiasm and passion we had when we started the JS Belgrade meetup. In the next year and a half, Ilija and his coorganizers, Sanel and Nikola, organized many other great events. We even organized one together in April. Finally, a few months ago, @simalexan and I sat down with Ilija, Sanel, and Nikola and agreed to merge our meetup groups. They'll continue as the main JS Belgrade organizers, and we'll help with everything we can. I hope this marks the start of the next 10 years of JS Belgrade meetup, with many, many more events, workshops, and amazing people, of course. Btw, join us on Thursday to meet the new organizing team: meetup.com/js-belgrade-meetu… Also, if you want to speak at one of our future meetups, let us know!

Last week I enabled @kirodotdev AI Steering to help with build vs buy decisions and use Wardley Maps principles when building products Showed a few gaps and how rules/steering evolution can potentially help with scaling principles across an organization simalexan.com/posts/wardley-…

This is exactly what @swardley was talking about with “Conversational Programming”, two decades ago

To mark #AWS Lambda's 10th anniversary, I'm sharing the internal PR/FAQ doc that launched it. It's a rare glimpse into the customer challenges we observed at the time and our vision for serverless computing back in the 2010s. Read it here: allthingsdistributed.com/202…

The community has been at the heart of #serverless. See "Serverless Moments with Serverless Heroes" @shingoy, @jeremy_daly, @brianleroux, @deeheber, @linda_mhmd, @theburningmonk, @ben11kehoe, @slobodan_, @zachjonesnoel, @simalexan: youtu.be/oubk8Au4o7c

Great time and wonderful, accomplished projects! Thank you @DavidDuncker and the whole #EHRA_ESC team

My upcoming book, Lizard Optimization, is now the #1 new release in Application Development on Amazon.com. Not bad for something that officially comes out on September 1st. Grab your copy at amazon.com/dp/B0DCGQWY7V

To be clear: the hot take here is that we were able to switch between AWS primitives as our use case evolved. Kinesis has similarly low latency, but the way we used it meant we introduced unnecessary latency. More detail here: x.com/nickste/status/1823421…
