Azure Event Grid facilitates building event-driven serverless apps that can effectively solve a real-time business problems with a focus on the core logic rather than the infrastructure. Event Grid is designed for high availability, consistent performance, and dynamic scale. Event Grid can simplify event-based apps, as this serves as a single service to manage routing of all events from any source to any destination. Before we proceed further, it is important to understand what an ‘event’ is.

The word serverless starts to become a hot topic in the world of Computer Programming. Maybe you heard the word Serverless a couple of times, either by going to conferences or by talking with other people.

I never thought that this would be my life. For more than a year, I’ve been talking to individual customers and getting inspired by their stories, challenges, and goals. Now, I have the spectacular opportunity to meet entire conference rooms of people who are excited to hear about my story, challenges, and goals. This is my time to give back to the types of users who have inspired me ever since I entered the serverless space.

There’s been a lot of talk about the acquisition of IOpipe by the giant of observability, New Relic. IOpipe has been launched soon after AWS made public its Lambda service and raised around $7 million.

Calling a flow from another flow is nothing new. Makers can wire up multiple flows using the HTTP Request Trigger and HTTP Action. While this is possible, it creates additional friction as makers have to manually construct request and response messages using JSON. Microsoft recently provided first-class support for calling a flow from another flow by introducing a new action called Run a Child Flow.

It’s been a long time in the making but after months of pushing it on the back burner, we are finally ready to release our news project. Serverless technology has evolved at a thrilling pace. As a result of the rapid growth and expansion of this whole new space, many developers felt overwhelmed.

AWS recently launched the Serverless Event Bus, AWS EventBridge. Some have described it as an extension of CloudWatch Events, while others say it is provides the same features as AWS SNS. So, what exactly is EventBridge? And how does it fit into the existing AWS serverless ecosystem?

You’ve no doubt heard that IOpipe has been acquired by New Relic (congratulations to both). As part of the acquisition, New Relic has said it intends to retire the IOpipe platform in the next 30 days. If you’re currently relying on the IOpipe platform to monitor and debug your serverless application you have an important decision to make. One option is to try out New Relic’s serverless monitoring functionality.

It’s been a great couple of months at Stackery. Since coming on as CEO earlier this year, I’ve been impressed with how much our team gets done and their contributions to making the serverless development experience easier and more reliable. I want to take a moment to recognize two of our amazing Stackerinos who were recognized by AWS recently with the AWS Serverless Hero distinction.
