AWS Local Zones FAQs - Amazon Web Services

Low-latency computing with AWS Local Zones – Part 1 : idk.dev

AWS Local Zones, a new type of AWS infrastructure deployment that places compute, storage, and other select services closer to large cities. We designed Local Zones as a powerful construct that extends our existing Regions into new locations. This gives you the ability to run applications on AWS that require single-digit millisecond latencies to your end-users or on-premises installations in the local area. Just like Regions, Local Zones are fully managed and supported by AWS, giving you the elasticity, scalability, and security benefits of running on the AWS. The first Local Zone is generally available in LA, and is an extension of the US West (Oregon) Region (the parent Region).

WebAssembly: C# P/Invoke Rust & C++

C# interop with C/C++ and Rust in WebAssembly - Uno Platform

.NET P/Invoke was built to perform dynamic linking with Windows PE Dlls, but has been extended in mono to allow for static linking. This technique is also used by mono on iOS to call native code, and allows for a single executable package to contain the code to execute the application.

.NET for WebAssembly has support for it in the form of static linking of LLVM Bitcode object files... to call ... C/C++ and Rust code from C# in a WebAssembly app.

Uno Platform enables for creation of single-source C# and XAML apps which run natively on iOS, Android, macOS and Web via WebAssembly

Notion vs Evernote: Is it time to make the switch?

The biggest difference between the two products is that, as an all-in-one workspace tool, Notion helps users keep all their work in one place. As an organizational note-taking tool, Evernote helps users keep their files in one place.

no-code: Amazon Honeycode

AWS launches Amazon Honeycode, a no-code mobile and web app builder | TechCrunch

AWS today announced the beta launch of Amazon Honeycode, a new, fully managed low-code/no-code development tool that aims to make it easy for anybody in a company to build their own applications. All of this, of course, is backed by a database in AWS and a web-based, drag-and-drop interface builder.

Developers can build applications for up to 20 users for free. After that, they pay per user and for the storage their applications take up.

Why AWS built a no-code tool | TechCrunch

Amazon launches cloud service to help non-coders build apps

"The announcement comes months after the departure of Adam Bosworth, who worked at Google, Microsoft and Salesforce before joining AWS as a vice president in 2016. Bosworth created and led the development of a product that was kept secret for years but was expected to be software that people can use to write applications with little to no coding. Bosworth worked on Honeycode at Amazon, Larry Augustin, a vice president at the company, said on Wednesday."

...

In 2015 Microsoft introduced the PowerApps software for easily building business applications, and in January Google acquired AppSheet, a start-up with no-code application-development tools.

AWS Shield vs DDoS

Amazon says it mitigated the largest DDoS attack ever recorded - The Verge

Amazon Web Services recently had to defend against a DDoS attack with a peak traffic volume of 2.3 Tbps, the largest ever recorded, ZDNet reports. Detailing the attack in its Q1 2020 threat report, Amazon said that the attack occurred back in February, and was mitigated by AWS Shield, a service designed to protect customers of Amazon’s on-demand cloud computing platform from DDoS attacks, as well as from bad bots and application vulnerabilities. The company did not disclose the target or the origin of the attack.

Linux in SpaceX

SpaceX: We've launched 32,000 Linux computers into space for Starlink internet | ZDNet

"Each of SpaceX's monthly launches of 60 internet-beaming Starlink satellites carries 4,000 stripped-back Linux computers, SpaceX software engineers have revealed.
...total count to around 480 and moving it closer to the 800 it needs to provide moderate coverage over the US.

SpaceX recently applied to the Federal Communications Commission to launch 30,000 second-generation satellites over and above the 12,000 that had already been approved. Assuming the second-generation satellites carry the same number of Linux computers, it would mean SpaceX plans to send at least two million Linux computers into space in the next few years."

From Earth to orbit with Linux and SpaceX | ZDNet

"The Falcon 9's onboard operating system is a stripped-down Linux running on three ordinary dual-core x86 processors. The flight software itself runs separately on each processor and is written in C/C++.

Ordinary? Yes, ordinary. You see, spacecraft CPUs are far from the newest and greatest. They're developed for spacecraft, which takes years -- even decades -- to go from the drafting board to launch. For example, the International Space Station (ISS) runs on 1988-vintage 20 MHz Intel 80386SX CPUs."

Usually, though, chips that go into space aren't ordinary chips. CPUs that stay in space must be radiation-hardened. Otherwise, they tend to fail due to the effects of ionizing radiation and cosmic rays. These customized processors undergo years of design work and then more years of testing before they are certified for spaceflight.

Edge ML: tinyML

tinyML Summit | Home

Edge Machine Learning with Zach Shelby - Software Engineering Daily

Devices on the edge are becoming more useful with improvements in the machine learning ecosystem. TensorFlow Lite allows machine learning models to run on microcontrollers and other devices with only kilobytes of memory. Microcontrollers are very low-cost, tiny computational devices. They are cheap, and they are everywhere.

The low-energy embedded systems community and the machine learning community have come together with a collaborative effort called tinyML. tinyML represents the improvements of microcontrollers, lighter weight frameworks, better deployment mechanisms, and greater power efficiency.

TinyML is giving hardware new life | TechCrunch

Why TinyML is a giant opportunity | VentureBeat

250 billion microcontrollers in our printers, TVs, cars, and pacemakers can now perform tasks that previously only our computers and smartphones could handle. All of our devices and appliances are getting smarter thanks to microcontrollers.

TinyML represents a collaborative effort between the embedded ultra-low power systems and machine learning communities, which traditionally have operated largely independently. This union has opened the floodgates for new and exciting applications of on-device machine learning

RedwoodJS - Bringing Full-stack to the Jamstack

RedwoodJS with Tom Preston-Werner - Software Engineering Daily

"RedwoodJS is a framework for building JAMStack applications. Tom Preston-Werner is one of the creators of RedwoodJS, as well as the founder of GitHub and Chatterbug, a language learning app.

Over the last 5 years, web development has matured considerably. React has become a standard for frontend component development. GraphQL has seen massive growth in adoption as a data fetching middleware layer. The hosting platforms have expanded beyond AWS and Heroku, to newer environments like Netlify and Vercel.

These changes are collectively known as the JAMStack. With the changes brought by the JAMStack, it raises the question: how should an app be built today? Can a framework offer guidance for how the different layers of a JAMStack app should fit together?"

Redwood brings full-stack to the JAMstack with Tom Preston-Werner (JS Party #119) |> News and podcasts for developers |> Changelog

"Redwood is an opinionated, full-stack, serverless web application framework that will allow you to build and deploy JAMstack applications with ease. Imagine a React frontend, statically delivered by CDN, that talks via GraphQL to your backend running on AWS Lambdas around the world, all deployable with just a git push—that's Redwood."
