#serverless
TIL that when you manage #AWS Step Functions using #CDK or #CloudFormation, you have no control over JobDefinition revisions. So whenever you change a job definition, CloudFormation creates a new revision for it and inactivates the previously active one.
So in practice, when you update a StepFunctions job definition any existing long-running executions that depended on the old version will simply fail. And waste a ton of resources and potentially money.
Depressed to see CDK folks were already aware of this in August 2020, and it didn't seem relevant enough to AWS have been fixed since then: https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/issues/9144#issuecomment-681081310
This sort of problem is exactly what turns some engineering leaders off of #serverless for other architectures.
In particular, I wish AWS would spend more energy into making CloudFormation support better across the board. Like requiring support for new services and ensuring a minimum resource coverage as part of service teams' goals. Because it doesn't look like this is the case today. Something many people like @Quinnypig have been screaming (in the cloud) about for ages now.
Sorry for the rant. I like AWS and serverless, but this boiled my blood today because it had non-trivial impact into my operations and cost and took the team quite a while to figure out. Now we'll have to figure out an ugly workaround to implement. ๐

"Infrastructure-from-Code is a way of creating applications such that, at deploy-time, your cloud provider inspects your application code and then automatically takes care of provisioning whatever underlying infrastructure your application code needs.
This contrasts to Infrastructure-as-Code where you (the developer) need to explicitly define infrastructure resources in separate files"

@SusanPotter All the pitfalls you mentioned about โserverlessโ apply equally to the very first PaaS environments, like Google App Engine. GAE first appeared in 2008, and I remember the optimism of early adopters, followed by the disappointment once Google realized it wasn't profitable and jacked up prices, invalidating people's optimizations for the previous pricing model.

"Everything should be a #serverless function" is just as shortsighted as "Everything should run on Kubernetes" or "Everything should be a #monolith". There is no one-size-fits-all #architecture. Every setup has, or will have, shortcomings. When a new tool arrives to address such a shortcoming, it doesn't mean you can just apply that tool preemptively to every problem to avoid any and all shortcomings. Maybe cold starts aren't an issue for you, or you don't need to scale horizontally.

I think by now everyone and their grandma has seen this article. But if you haven't, it's worth your time!
@Steve_Read @weltraumpirat @ntcoding @jchyip
That article by Adrian Cockcroft had many insights. Building a quick #serverless version to get started, and then adapting to new needs, both make total sense.
If people are saying "Amazon got it wrong" then they have the wrong idea about #softwarearchitecture and design. We know it's not like a skyscraper where you design it once!
From what I can see, the Prime Video team ran into integrators and adapted accordingly. #evolutionaryarchitecture
So many bad takes โ What is there to learn from the Prime Video #microservices to #monolith story https://adrianco.medium.com/so-many-bad-takes-what-is-there-to-learn-from-the-prime-video-microservices-to-monolith-story-4bd0970423d4 #AWS #serverless
Iโm proposing that everyone should save 90% of their costs by using #Monolithy architecture, which totally isnโt #serverless or #microservice based at all, because reasons. The great thing about Monolithy services is that you can have lots of them, run them on ECS (since Kubernetes is also bad, because other reasons) and use lambda functions to route events to them. Guarantees to avoid any architectural buzzwords that might negatively affect your resume.
๐ง

@DrArtAnalytics Yes. I feel responsible for โmyโ threads and as I also use threads as a #serverless way to add comments to my blog and other static pages (see https://jan.wildeboer.net/2023/02/Jekyll-Mastodon-Comments/ ) Iโd really like to be able to moderate. And Iโd be perfectly fine with an implementation that allows the reader to still open the hidden reply, if he/she/they wish to do so instead if it not showing up at all. Kinda like a content warning by the thread โownerโ.
