In October 2017 I presented for the first time at Codemotion in Berlin. Three years later, I designed and recorded my first course for them: “Cloud Computing: Come Creare una Applicazione Serverless” is a module of fourteen short lessons in Italian, just over two hours of video content plus exercises. The course uses a simple URL shortener as an example of a serverless application on AWS. It is now available on Codemotion and it is free!
I am taking three months off from public speaking to recharge my batteries and work on new content, but I will back on stage next February at CloudWorld 2021 to talk about cost optimization on AWS with a special focus on storage and data. This is a new topic I never covered before but that I am really passionate about. The title and abstract of my session at DeveloperWeek are below.
Learn how to manage better your costs on AWS, make your bill less scary or your credits last longer
Should you really always run your cluster in multiple availability zones? How can a transition rule to Glacier double your storage costs? I want to monitor and understand my data transfer costs, where should I start? Why are backups eating my database budget? What, one more storage class on S3? Following so-called “best practices” works only when you fully understand the implications, costs included. We will address a few cloud anti-patterns, making your bill smaller and your deployment better.
Looking forward to one more virtual conference in 2021!
The video of my presentation for the the #ModernInfrastructure track at All Day DevOps, discussing the good, the bad and the ugly of Serverless Databases. A written recap of my session by Phil Vuollet is available as well. Thanks to the whole All Day DevOps team for putting on such a great event!
In the next two months I am going to attend as a speaker six virtual events, with three different talks and different audiences. Some events are free, some are not. Details and registration links or discount codes below, all talks are in English.
Hope to (virtually) meet you soon!
“Serverless Databases: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly” is the topic of my talk at Percona Live Online. After a lightning talk at Percona Live Europe in Dublin and a few posts for the Percona Community Blog, I am looking forward to be (virtually) on stage at Percona Live Online!
The conference will run for 28 hours on 20-21 October 2020 and will cover topics on Open Source Databases and Applications using MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and MariaDB. You can find the full agenda online and register for free.
A blog preview of my talk is available on the Open Source Database Community Blog
Is serverless the future of relational databases? Looking forward to be part of DeveloperWeek Global: Cloud Conference, one of the world’s largest virtual software developer event series, and discuss relational databases on the cloud. See you online at the end of September! More about my talk here.
