Kinesis is four AWS services under one name. A guide to the four, the Data Streams shard engine underneath, its cost shape, and when to pick something else.

AppSync subscriptions fire only on mutations. This explores bridging downstream BFF events into a NONE-data-source mutation with EventBridge and CDK.

Lambda durable functions put the orchestrator in your TypeScript. Reach for them when you own the whole workflow; keep Step Functions for cross-team state machines.

lambda · step-functions · serverless +1

Match architecture weight to each runtime's init-amortization: lean handlers on single-purpose Lambda, more on a Lambdalith, full OOP/DI only on long-lived runtimes.

How to slice AWS Lambda functions: default to single-purpose, treat the single-domain Lambdalith as an earned exception, and the platform forces that decide it.

Production deploys need a real approval gate: use GitHub Environments with native protection rules and scoped secrets, not workflow if: hacks or marketplace actions.

Building a RAG agent on AWS Bedrock + Knowledge Bases + OpenSearch Serverless with CDK in TypeScript: architecture, IAM wiring, automated ingestion, and the chat UI.

What a Bedrock Knowledge Base really is, which data sources and vector stores are first-class, and why the console default rarely fits a small corpus.

Named signals that justify a Kafka migration from a managed event bus, and a four-phase outbox-anchored playbook to move without rip-and-replace.

DI containers, monolithic SDKs, god-handlers, top-level secret fetches, and heavy ORMs: what they cost on cold start, and the functional shape that replaces them.

An exploration of whether a Rust + WASM image-resize handler fits inside Cloudflare Workers' binary-size, memory, and CPU ceilings before the POC runs.

A platform default for multi-team AWS orgs: one event, many consumers, each in its own account with its own SQS and DLQ, and fan-out in the event bus layer.

aws · eventbridge · event-driven +4

An exploration thesis: vendor lock-in in event-driven systems lives in the bus topology, not the runtime, and wasmCloud plus NATS make the bus portable.

A practical guide to multi-tier caching: in-memory, Redis, and CDN layers, cache-aside vs write-through, ElastiCache vs MemoryDB, and stampede prevention.

Path-based API versioning on AWS API Gateway with CDK: a lifecycle registry per version, per-version Lambda handlers, discovery, and deprecation signals.

Handle large file uploads with S3 presigned URLs instead of Lambda proxies: a full CDK stack, both handlers, the browser side, and the security trade-offs.
