Multiple contracts or multiple full time positions (i.e. overemployed)

No, it's global. The employees in the EU will be notified some months after the US (likely because of stronger labor laws in the EU)

rytrix | 3 years ago | on: AWS Lambda Power Tuning

> Is performance tuning a relevant topic for AWS Lambda though?

Lambdas are also used for request/response workflows, not necessarily just async background tasks.

Another use case is lambda resolvers with AppSync if you need some sort of data that can't be obtained with the native resolvers (i.e. DynamoDB)

> Beyond the choice of the lambda runtime and how much RAM is provisioned, what else is there that's worth being tuned?

The amount of RAM being allocated to a lambda function also controls the vCPU granted to the lambda function.

There's a nice balance that can be struck with power tuning where you're paying more per millisecond for a higher RAM configuration but the duration of each invocation improves enough to the point where you're actually paying less.

rytrix | 5 years ago | on: Microservices – architecture nihilism in minimalism's clothes

Sometimes a monolith is the way to go and sometimes microservices are the way to go; it really all depends on a number of factors.

Everything is always crystal clear in hindsight, that being said I always tell my clients to set up billing alarms as one of their first tasks when getting started on AWS. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitori...
