Awesome! Glad to hear that there's a section on that. Quick question. I'm thinking of leveraging elasticsearch for the fulltext search capabilities. Is the work to get sorting on various different attributes heavy from a dev perspective and is there any advantages of doing it through dynamo rather than querying with elasticsearch?

This looks like a great resource. One thing I'm struggling with is the ability to sort and filter and was wondering if the book goes into detail about this topic.

If I have a person entity and its attributes listed out in a table. How would you go about sorting by first name, last name, created at, etc... I was thinking of streaming everything over to elastic search, but that would add extra complexity to maintain.

InboxSDK is a great set of tools for people looking to build on top of gmail. Does anyone know if there anything like Inbox SDK that support outlook/office365?

The thing is, with these models. Everyone will eventually catch the virus and either dies off or recovers. If this happens in real life, the consequences are dire and catastrophic.

Social distancing and avoiding large groups will obviously save lives and we flatten the curve to allow for treatment of individuals that will require hospitalization. But once the novelty of social distancing wears off. Will the number of cases where people get affected explode once again?

The question is when will this virus go away? (if ever). Will everybody catch it eventually? Will the panic fade and Corona be just another (and much deadlier) strain of the flu?

Not sure what this article was trying to get at. If a SAAS service could be replaced by a single line of code, then you did not need to use it in the first place.
