After a work-week (and weekend) in New York City, it’s good to be back to my normal routines. Block off a few minutes to read some good content below, and give a listen to the short podcast episode I linked to.
[blog] Cloud Automation à la DDD: From stringly typed to affordances. You have to pay attention while reading this post, but it’s worth it. Gregor looks at domain driven ideas and how those doing cloud automation can take advantage.
[blog] Creating a developer portal for Cloud Run with sidecar containers and Apigee. I like the sidecar pattern when you don’t want to stuff a bunch of infrastructure code or cross-cutting services into your application. Now that you can apply this pattern to our serverless stack, you get some fresh architectural options.
[podcast] The Best Leaders Are Also Technical Experts. VERY interesting perspective, that deeply resonates with me. I want to be led by those who have domain expertise, and want to be a leader my team can trust to know their work area.
[blog] Best Kept Security Secrets: Keeping secrets, the Secret Manager way. Does your team use a secret management solution? I hope so. It’ll become more common when it cleanly integrates into the tech you’re already using.
[blog] Platform engineering is just DevOps with a product mindset. This feels generally right to me.
[blog] How to grow your multicloud resume as a cloud architect. You won’t be an expert at multiple clouds. Honestly, I don’t trust people who say they’re an expert at even one cloud! But there are areas to develop your skills if you want to be more successful across cloud providers.
[article] How to Be a Purpose-Driven Leader Without Burning Out. I really like this. It’s a good re-framing for managers if you find yourself overwhelmed with helping others.
[blog] Backpressure controls in Google Cloud PubSub. Sometimes messaging solutions can process more messages than the downstream system can handle. Look for services that have built-in back-pressure controls.
[article] AWS’s search for AI momentum. It’s so fascinating to watch AWS stumble around a bit here. They’ll end up fine, but are clearly disadvantaged at the moment.
[blog] Simplify data lake pipelines with new Pub/Sub Cloud Storage subscriptions. I’ve seen so many architectures with components to capture and process data. I really love this new capability that streams data directly from Pub/Sub to Cloud Storage. Very unique!
