This past couple of month were a bit hectic and there’s a good reason behind that. We’ve set out to create a better experience for our users, and it’s exactly what we did! Besides making a lot of quality-of-life changes, we’ve introduced new features that we think, will speed up the speed at which you’ll debug your applications and give you a whole new perspective on all things AWS Lambda.

Serverless has, for the last year or so, felt like an easy term to define: code run in a highly managed environment with (almost) no configuration of the underlying computer layer done by your team. Fair enough, but what is is a serverless application? A Lambda isn’t an app by itself, heck, it can’t even communicate with the world outside of Amazon Web Services (AWS) by itself, so there must be more to a serverless app than that.

It’s the celebration time of the year! Dashbird is now an official Amazon Web Services (AWS) Advanced Technology Partner (APN). Our team has demonstrated that we can build a strong, secure and reliable AWS-based business that can benefit Amazon Web Services users. The new partner status is recognition of Dashbird ability to help companies to better monitor and troubleshoot their Lambdas by providing state of the art solution for serverless observability.

Today we’ll talk more about the cost tracking for serverless architecture. Following the cost of serverless architecture utilization it might give you insights on how and what should you change or adapt to, to be able to reduce the cost. After all, we’re all always trying to improve our performances in every field while keeping the costs to a minimum (if possible).

Gatsby is currently generating a ton of buzz as the new hot thing for generating static sites. This has lead to a number of frequent questions like: A static…what now? How is GraphQL involved? Do I need to set up a GraphQL server? What if I’m not a great React developer, really more of a bad React developer?

I’ve been working on creating AWS Cognito User Pools in CloudFormation, and thought this would be a good time to share some of what I’ve learned.

This post is going to be a tad different and longer than what you are used to but I promise, it’s going to be an interesting one. We are going to build a serverless React + GraphQL Web app with Aws amplify and AppSync.
