Hello folks,

My name is Dave Boyne, I'm on a mission to help bring discoverability to event-driven architectures through open source.

If you love event-driven, distributed, serverless, then let's connect ❤️

Are you trying to improve flow, make better tradeoffs, push for more strategic alignment, or clarify what's supported and what isn't?

Subdomains are a part of domain-driven design that EventCatalog was missing.

I'm happy to share that a new version is now out , and we support adding subdomains into your catalog.

Hope it helps!

Our research at Procter and Gamble found very large gains to work quality & productivity from AI. It was conducted using GPT-4 last summer.

Since then we have seen Gen3 models, reasoners, large context windows, full multimodal, deep research, web search… www.oneusefulthing.org/p/the-cybern...

I made it easier to transform your OpenAPI files into visualizations and documentation with EventCatalog.

You can now use the httpMethodsToMessages to map HTTP methods to message types (commands, queries and events).

Enjoy!

VPC Gateway Endpoints are actually pretty cool for a couple of key reasons ✨

Think of them as a secure tunnel directly into AWS services like S3 or DynamoDB 🔐

This might be the most earth-shattering change to folks' AWS console workflows to hit since the introduction of IAM users.
The AWS Management Console now supports simultaneous sign-in for multiple AWS accounts

AWS now supports multi-session, allowing access to up to 5 AWS accounts in one browser. Users can sign in with root, IAM, or federated roles across accounts, improving management and troubleshooting.
