Hi, DevOps/Software Engineers, let’s connect. I write about Docker, Kubernetes, serverless and Golang

Wanna hear something exciting? Yeah, it’s a bit of clickbait. However, every word is true. In my pet project, I was using the docker/setup-buildx-action and docker/build-push-action GitHub Actions to build and push images to ECR as part of a CI/CD workflow.

A bit of clickbait, but not a single word of lie. Interested in the details? A bit about CI/CD, a bit about Docker images, a bit about serverless

So, my small pet project for tracking the schedule in a sport club has been running in a sort of production mode for two weeks now. It's already benefiting a small group of eight people. Were my cost estimates correct? So far, yes. Here's a fresh screenshot of the billing.

Today, I was asked why I decided to build the solution as a Lambda function instead of running a container on EC2. Is there any logic behind this decision, or did I just want to experiment with AWS Lambda? Let me answer that here as well
