ECS has been around a long time but it's great to see continuous improvements with it. (3️⃣/3️⃣)

ECS now maintains availability even when new versions fail by replacing unhealthy tasks with healthy ones from the current version, not the potentially broken new deployment. This may seem like a small change but it seems like it could make a big difference when problems arise. (2️⃣/3️⃣)

I typically don't like GUI tools but played around with it a little and it seems to work well.

I appreciate the visual builder for Step Functions and this one for Eventbridge should help too. (2️⃣/2️⃣)

The first article covers environment setup, documentation access via mcpdoc, and The FastMCP framework is described. Continue reading the other articles in the series to complete the implementation. This showcases how Kiro can help you. (3️⃣/3️⃣)

MCP servers are everywhere and they can be very powerful giving apps access to all kinds of tools. Building your own may seem to be a challenge but it's not that hard. Using a tool like Kiro can help. This series of articles from Robert Bradley describes how to build Developer Tools MCP server.(2️⃣/3️⃣)

We've all blindly copied workflows found online but understanding how things work is why i spend so much time reading and watching videos. In the post below, Sachin Poonia helps to understand this really useful set of tools. (3️⃣/3️⃣)

Getting a handle on the key concepts of any tools makes it much easier to use. Some of those here include env, secrets, runner, steps, needs, and matrix. The article below shows how to pass data between steps, authenticate safely, and create dynamic versioning. (2️⃣/3️⃣)

If you're developing with Kubernetes you will almost certainly use port forwarding. Flavius Dinu wrote this great guide covering syntax, real-world use cases, and alternatives like LoadBalancers and Ingress controllers. Check it out! (3️⃣/3️⃣)

The kubectl port-forward command establishes a temporary TCP connection that works for pods, services, or deployments. Common scenarios include local development with remote services, accessing internal dashboards, and connecting database clients. (2️⃣/3️⃣)

Emmanuel Odhiambo shows a nice example setup you could modify for many cases. One good thing with most of these services is that they'll likely cost you nothing per month for demo apps, maybe a few dollars at scale. (3️⃣/3️⃣)

AWS Lambda code is a nice place to implement your business logic without managing infrastructure. Sending email via Simple Email Service (SES) and using DynamoDB for a database are easy to get started with and integrate well together. (2️⃣/3️⃣)

Nils Norfors breaks down why SaaS companies face this structural margin problem. This is worth looking at if you're between scrappy prototype and dedicated infrastructure team. (3️⃣/3️⃣)

It's not about limiting growth, but about surviving long enough to grow. AWS, Stripe, GitHub all have rate limits. The fix can be simpler than you think - API Gateway usage plans, clear error messages, and pricing that reflects actual costs. (2️⃣/3️⃣)

The article from Farouq Mousa covers practical setup details—S3 for storage, DynamoDB for locking—and introduces the newer S3 native locking option in Terraform v1.11+. (3️⃣/3️⃣)

Managing Terraform state files locally might work solo, but it breaks down fast in team environments. Using a remote store for the data is more secure and also is the only way to make this work with multiple users. (2️⃣/3️⃣)

ECS becomes more economical than Lambda at certain scales while EKS wins at others. Mohamed Rifkhan built a complete MLOps pipeline with the same code deployed across all three platforms. The repo includes Terraform, benchmarks, and practical guidance. (3️⃣/3️⃣)

The below comparison tests the same sentiment analysis model across Lambda, ECS Fargate, and EKS with real load testing and cost breakdowns at multiple scales. Lambda isn't always cheapest and EKS isn't always fastest. The crossover points really matter. (2️⃣/3️⃣)
