AWS Lambda Containers

Bret and Nirmal are joined by Ken Collins, AWS Serverless Hero and Principal Engineer at Custom Ink to discuss all things Lambda and to dig into the details of running containers in serverless.🙌 My next course is coming soon! I've opened the waitlist for those wanting to go deep in GitHub Actions for DevOps and AI automation. I'm so thrilled to announce this course. The waitlist allows you to quickly sign up for some content updates, discounts, and more as I finish building the course. https://www.bretfisher.com/waitlist🍾Ken and I have known each other for probably 15 years in the local tech scene here in coastal Virginia. And I've always respected him for being a leader in that community, always wanting to talk at a meetup or help in some way. So when he reached out wanting to talk about his company using containers on AWS Lambda, it was an easy sell for me because I knew it would be a great show. And then I learned some of the updates Lambda has had over the years, particularly when it comes to container workflows. We had some great audience questions and no shortage of topics around using modern Lambda and serverless.Live recording of the complete show from September 7, 2023 is on YouTube (Ep. #233).★Topics★Custom Ink tech blogRails and LambdaLambda Web AdapterLambda sidecar pattern in KubernetesThe case for Rails on LambdaLambda RAG OpenAILearn ServerlessCreators & Guests Bret Fisher - Host Cristi Cotovan - Editor Beth Fisher - Producer Ken Collins - Guest Nirmal Mehta - Host (00:00) - Intro (01:27) - What Does Lambda Have to Do with Containers?
