web tools: preact, lit-html, svelte, stencil vs react, angular
while web components are being standardized and implemented in all modern browsers
web development is still done with many JavaScript/TypeScript tools
those tool chains are getting quite complex, and resulting web apps quite large.
and while there are many and changing options for js/web tools, React is still dominant
What is Preact and when should you consider using it?

AWS Glue Elastic Views
AWS Glue Features – AWS Glue Elastic Views – Amazon Web Services
AWS Glue Elastic Views makes it easy to build materialized views that combine and replicate data across multiple data stores without you having to write custom code.New applications and features often require you to combine data that resides across multiple data stores, including relational and non-relational databases. Accessing, combining, replicating, and keeping this data up-to-date requires manual work and custom code that can take months of development time.
With AWS Glue Elastic Views, you can use familiar Structured Query Language (SQL) to quickly create a virtual table—a materialized view—from multiple different source data stores. AWS Glue Elastic Views copies data from each source data store and creates a replica in a target data store. AWS Glue Elastic Views continuously monitors for changes to data in your source data stores and provides updates to the materialized views in your target data stores automatically, ensuring data accessed through the materialized view is always up-to-date.

AWS Babelfish for PostgreSQL: Translating T-SQL from SQL Server: open source
Want more PostgreSQL? You just might like Babelfish | AWS Open Source Blog
Babelfish for PostgreSQL is an Apache-2.0 open source project that adds a Microsoft SQL Server-compatible end-point to PostgreSQL to enable your PostgreSQL database to understand the SQL Server wire protocol and commonly used SQL Server commands. With Babelfish, applications that were originally built for SQL Server can work directly with PostgreSQL, with little to no code changes, and without changing database drivers.
Babelfish for PostgreSQL will be available on Github in 2021.

AWS Lambda + Containers!
AWS Lambda now supports container images as a packaging format
You can now package and deploy AWS Lambda functions as a container image of up to 10 GB. This makes it easy to build Lambda based applications using familiar container tooling, workflows, and dependencies. Just like functions packaged as ZIP archives, functions deployed as container images will benefit from AWS Lambda’s operational simplicity, automatic scaling with sub-second startup times, high availability, and native integrations with 140 AWS services. Customers can start building functions as container images by using either a set of AWS base images for Lambda, or by using one of their preferred community or enterprise images.

Running Python on .NET 5
Pyjion is a project to replace the core execution loop of CPython by transpiling CPython bytecode to ECMA CIL and then using the .NET 5 CLR to compile that into machine code. It then executes the machine-code compiled JIT frames at runtime instead of using the native execution loop of CPython.

StatusCode Weekly Issue 295: December 2, 2020
"AWS Unveils Mac-Powered EC2 Instances — Exciting news because the big clouds have kept away from macOS so far, but.. for good reason. These are ultimately very expensive ($1.21/hr on demand) and restricted (the minimum time you can use one is 24 hours – more on why here). If you’re heavily into AWS, though, and want to wrap macOS-based CI/CD into your monthly bill, now there’s a way."it would pay off in less than a month to purchase instead of this "lease"...

AWS Babelfish for Aurora PostgreSQL
AWS goes after Microsoft’s SQL Server with Babelfish for Aurora PostgreSQL | TechCrunch
AWS today announced a new database product that is clearly meant to go after Microsoft’s SQL Server and make it easier — and cheaper — for SQL Server users to migrate to the AWS cloud. The new service is Babelfish for Aurora PostgreSQL. The tagline AWS CEO Andy Jassy used for this service in his re:Invent keynote today is probably telling: “Stop paying for SQL Server licenses you don’t need.” And to show how serious it is about this, the company is even open-sourcing the tool.What Babelfish does is provide a translation layer for SQL Server’s proprietary SQL dialect (T-SQL) and communications protocol so that businesses can switch to AWS’ Aurora relational database at will (though they’ll still have to migrate their existing data). It provides translations for the dialect, but also SQL commands, cursors, catalog views, data types, triggers, stored procedures and functions.
The promise here is that companies won’t have to replace their database drivers or rewrite and verify their database requests to make this transition.
