In case you missed it: Episode 2 of Yells at Cloud is out. AI agents, AWS capacity limits, Amazon’s gas-powered Texas data center, Twitch scraping content, and CloudFormation Express Mode. The Slow Collapse of Civilization: yellsatcloudpod.com/episodes/ep-2

Got some new M5Stack toys this morning. Let's see what we can build out of these!

The .NET Durable Execution SDK went GA yesterday. Took the opportunity to verify all four SDKs. Java v2.0.0 updated withRetry. C# v1.0.0 added stepSemantics and tenant isolation. Both now supported. durable-viz 0.6.1 is feature complete across all four runtimes. github.com/gunnargrosch...

Before you write a line of application code, the Sinch CLI can rent you a number, make a live call, send a message, and stream webhook logs from a local tunnel. New post walking through all of it. dev.to/gunnargrosch... builder.aws.com/content/3Gx8...

Amazing event with the user group in Frankfurt! Can't go wrong with rooftop BBQ! So much fun catching up with friends new and old in the tech community. Thanks to Stefan Bauer and Manuel Vogel for organizing, to codecentric AG for hosting, and to everyone who listened to me rant. ❤️

@ajs.bsky.social thinks Lambda MicroVMs are AWS' most creative compute product in years: Firecracker VMs that restore from a snapshot in milliseconds. He breaks down the tech, pricing, and use cases on Yells at Cloud Ep. 1. yellsatcloudpod.com/episodes/ep-1

Episode 1 of Yells at Cloud is live. Lambda MicroVMs, CloudFormation Express Mode's lies, Cloudflare temp accounts, and why multi-agent teams underperform their smartest member. Generally Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & YouTube. yellsatcloudpod.com/episodes/ep-1

Order confirmed. Alarm fired. Job finished. These are moments where SMS works best. Immediate, no app required, no filter. This post shows how to send SMS from Lambda using the official Sinch SDKs. Builder Center: builder.aws.com/content/3Eoz... DEV Community: dev.to/gunnargrosch...

Great evening in Athens! ​I talked about building conversational agents in code with AWS Lambda Durable Functions and the Sinch Conversation API. ​Thanks to Epignosis for hosting and the local AWS user group for organizing. ​#AWS #Serverless #AI #Sinch

Talked at AWS User Group Vienna last night about building conversational agents in code using Lambda Durable Functions and Sinch. Two live SMS demos: single-agent booking flow and a multi-agent coordinator. Really fun crowd.

Sending SMS is easy. Two-way conversations are more interesting. New post: webhook + two queues + three Lambda functions = a full SMS conversation loop on AWS. TypeScript and Python. DEV Community: dev.to/gunnargrosch... AWS Builder Center: builder.aws.com/content/3EY5... #AWS #Serverless #SMS

You sent an SMS. Did it arrive? Know whether your messages landed. Lambda Function URL + HMAC validation + Sinch Conversation API webhooks. TypeScript and Python. dev.to/gunnargrosch...

Speaking at AWS User Group Athens on June 4: Building conversational AI agents with Lambda Durable Functions and the Sinch Conversation API. Sequential code, human-in-the-loop callbacks, no Step Functions glue. RSVP: www.meetup.com/aws-user-gro...

I'm taking my kids to Seattle for vacation this summer (Jun 26-Jul 3)! Any of my Seattle friends have suggestions on what to do there with kids aged 9-12?

Hallo Wien! 🇦🇹 ​Excited to head to Vienna for the next AWS User Group meetup! ​I'm speaking on Building Conversational Agents in Code with AWS Lambda Durable Functions, orchestrating Amazon Bedrock agents using Sinch for inbound/outbound chat. ​RSVP: www.meetup.com/amazon-web-s...

Amazing day at AWS Community Day Türkiye in Istanbul! Lots of great sessions, questions, and conversations with the vibrant Istanbul community. My keynote about the engineering mindset in the age of AI seemed to resonate well with many in the audience! #aws #awscommunity

Such a fun event with the AWS Community in the Nordics coming together in Stockholm for the yearly pre-Summit meetup! I talked about the importance of community and shared about my personal journey. Keep showing up!

Awesome event with Gothenburg Serverless tonight! Thanks to everyone who showed up and engaged! Lots of great conversations! A big thank you to the amazing speakers and to Cloud Enablers for hosting! Next event is yet to be scheduled. If you want to host, just let us know.

Starting today as the first Developer Advocate at Sinch. 700B+ texts and emails yearly. 100B+ calls. 160M+ active phone numbers. APIs for SMS, voice, WhatsApp, email, RCS, verification. If you've built with Sinch, I want to hear from you. What tripped you up? What's missing? DMs open.

Great day at AWS Community Day Bay Area Security Edition on Friday! Always great catching up with the Bay Area community and to hang out with fellow Heroes! My session on the security risks with MCP was hopefully an eye opener for many. Looking forward to the next one!

Thanks to everyone who joined yesterday's Gothenburg Serverless meetup and to Knightec Group for hosting! Next meetup on May 5 hosted by our friends at Cloud Enablers! Sign up to the group for notifications: www.meetup.com/gothenburg-s... #serverless #gothenburg

New tool: durable-viz turns AWS Lambda durable function handlers into flowcharts using static analysis. No deployment, no credentials. TypeScript, Python, Java. CLI or VS Code extension. npx durable-viz handler.ts --open github.com/gunnargrosch...

context.invoke() unlocks a pattern: one Lambda coordinator dispatching specialist agents as separate functions. Every call checkpointed, coordinator suspended while specialists run. dev.to/gunnargrosch... builder.aws.com/content/3BRI...

Gothenburg Serverless is back! Join us at Knightec in Lindholmen on April 7: - Spec-Driven Development for Serverless (Isak Holmdahl, Knightec) - Long-Running Serverless Workflows as Sequential Code (me) Food and drinks from 17:30. Space is limited: www.meetup.com/gothenburg-s...

Lambda Durable Functions: sequential code, checkpointed state, up to a year of execution. Zero compute during waits. Wrote about checkpoint/replay and built an AI support triage workflow with human-in-the-loop callbacks. dev.to/gunnargrosch... builder.aws.com/content/3B5i...

This game is so addictive!
