RDS is a distributed relational database service.
Amazon RDS is available on several database instance types - optimised for memory, performance or I/O - and provides six familiar database engines to choose from, including:
AWS ECS is a fully managed container orchestration service.
ECS has been a foundational pillar for key Amazon services and it can natively integrate with other services such as Amazon Route 53, Secrets Manager, AWS Identity and
...
Access Management (IAM), and Amazon CloudWatch providing you a familiar experience to deploy and scale your containers.
Amazon ElastiCache works as a high throughput and low latency in-memory data store and cache to support the most demanding applications requiring sub-millisecond response times.
As the name suggests S3 provides low cost object storage service with high scalability, data availability, security and performance.
S3 can be used to store files for use cases like websites, mobile apps, enterprise apps, backup & restore etc.
SQS is a fully managed message queuing service that enables you to decouple and scale micro services independently. Using SQS you can send, store and receive messages between different components at any volume.
SQS offers two types of message queues:
- Standard Queues
- FIFO Queues
Load Balancer is a critical component in any distributed system which sits between a client and a server, accepts incoming requests, and routes them across a a cluster of servers to handle the load.
Route53 a highly available and scalable DNS service from AWS. If you don't know what a DNS service is, it's basically the service which routes end users to Internet applications by translating names into numeric IP addresses.

DEAD PEOPLE SCORED FOR BUFFALO!
A truck delivered off a suitcase full of points at halftime from Canada for Buffalo.
#StopTheSteel !!!!
I’ll be submitting sworn affidavits from Steelers fans than they saw the Buffalo rigging the game but I want to emphasize that I’m not under oath.
Sports Minute: Bills improve to 10-3 with 26-15 win over sloppy Steelers https://t.co/lg0isTiE92

How Silicon Valley, in a Show of Monopolistic Force, Destroyed
In the last three months, tech giants have censored political speech and journalism to manipulate U.S. politics -- banning reporting on the Bidens, removing the President, destroying a new competitor -- while US liberals, with virtual unanimity, have cheered.
The ACLU said the unity of Silicon Valley monopoly power to destroy Parler was deeply troubling. Leaders from Germany, France and Mexico protested. Only US liberals support it, because the dominant strain of US liberalism is not economic socialism but political authoritarianism.

Just three months ago, a Dem-led House Committee issued a major report warning of the dangers of the anti-trust power of Apple, Amazon, Google and Facebook. Left-wing scholars have been sounding the alarm for years. Now it's here, and liberals

We wrote a 200 page report on why corporate concentration - including the big tech radicalization engines - worsened under both Democratic and Republican administrations. It has to do with antitrust enforcement, and it's fixable by Biden. https://t.co/K85Kv34t83

Kubernetes vs Serverless offerings
Why would you need Kubernetes when there are offerings like Vercel, Netlify, or AWS Lambda/Amplify that basically manage everything for you and offer even more?
Well, let's try to look at both approaches and draw our own conclusions!
🧵⏬
1️⃣ A quick look at Kubernetes
Kubernetes is a container orchestrator and thus needs containers to begin with. It's a paradigm shift to more traditional software development, where components are developed, and then deployed to bare metal machines or VMs.
There are additional steps now: Making sure your application is suited to be containerized (12-factor apps, I look at you: https://t.co/nuH4dmpUmf), containerizing the application, following some pretty well-proven standards, and then pushing the image to a registry.
After all that, you need to write specs which instruct Kubernetes what the desired state of your application is, and finally let Kubernetes do its work. It's certainly not a NoOps platform, as you'll still need people knowing what they do and how to handle Kubernetes.
⏬
2️⃣ A quick look at (some!) serverless offerings
The offer is pretty simple: You write the code, the platform handles everything else for you. It's basically leaning far to the NoOps side. There is not much to manage anymore.
Take your Next.js / Nuxt.js app, point the ...
