Building a serverless-powered IOT buzzwire game

The best internet of things adventures start with a blinky light and end with a serverless invocation. This talk is no exception.

Learn how the skunkworks team at Lumigo built, connected, and architected a serverless-powered IOT enabled buzzwire game with a leaderboard.

Debugging Schrödinger's App

If an error is thrown in a deployed serverless application, but no agent records it, did it cause customer frustration? If your app is not observed, does it exist in a quantum state of working and breaking simultaneously?

We've all been here before: apps that have been deployed but not optimized not only impact performance but can also cost you resources, customer goodwill, and ultimately money. Join us on a journey through the serverless cosmos, looking at ways to observe, debug, and optimize a serverless application (in Python).

Build A Serverless Link Shortener

Learn about serverless architectures and workflows as we walk through the steps for building a simple link shortening service, then add user management, administrative, and analytics features to turn it into a commercial-grade link shortener.

Available as a workshop or talk. We're running a blog series on it in 2023.

The Writer's Guide to More Useful Code Samples

Code samples are awesome, but context is king. You've got an API, SDK, or library, and you're providing code samples, maybe even a "cookbook" of snippets for your users. How are you making them easy to find, evaluate, and use? What's your strategy?

Let's examine why SEO isn't a dirty word, dig into how Google indexes your GitHub repo, use voice-first UX principles to think about how you write your READMEs, use journalism's Five Ws to make your code samples more discoverable, and examine how using GitHub's analytics APIs can help you measure your progress.
