News
A long time ago I defended my Ph.D. thesis with the title “Application Platforms for the Internet of Things”. As part of my research, I explored a lot of possible solutions and I settled for MQTT, a communication protocol. Back then I thought it was the best solution for the job, and in a recent survey 50% of developers are using it to interconnect their devices. I’m so excited to share the news that my friends at HiveMQ have been helping out Netflix!
Is the AWS Free Tier actually free? Or it is likely a massive liability? I ranked around a thousand errors of fees myself by mistake once too.
I really like this article from Fly.io talking about the story of serverless, lambdas and what it means for the industry. It’s a very interesting read, check it out:
