I'm going all-in on Serverless at AWS! :-)

Aug 1, 2019

I'm super excited to be joining AWS as a Senior Developer Advocate for the Serverless Product Group. I've been busily working as an IT practitioner on the customer side my entire career. 20ish years (eek!) mixing up IT infrastructure with radio stations, journalism and finance. Now seems the perfect time to abstract that all away and transition to the vendor side starting in September. I'll be...

Serverless: The Minimilism Mindset

Jul 9, 2019

There's always been a lot of talk about defining "Serverless". That's what you get for coming up with a term that describes what something isn't rather than what something is. There isn't actually an authoritative definition of what "serverless" is, as it depends on what message your trying to convey, and that's actually OK, we've somehow managed to eventually understand what "cloud" generally...

Connecting VMware Cloud on AWS to Native AWS Services - a UKVMUG presentation

Dec 13, 2018

I had the huge pleasure today of presenting a community talk at the UK VMUG in the stellar location of the UK National Space Center in Leicester...there was an actual rocket! I've been super interested in the recent love fest of VMware and AWS. The titans of private and public clouds have entered into a marriage of stratospheric nerdy potential. I recently attended AWS re:Invent ( What interest...

AWS re:Invent 2018: The Day 4 Buzz and the re:Play Party

Nov 30, 2018

Before the keynote there was a DeepRacer final race from the people who were learning yesterday in the same workshop I attended: AWS re:Invent 2018: Robocar Rally 2018 – AIM206 It was a little disappointing, the cars didn’t seen to go as fast as the lap times yesterday. Later on in the day I actually picked up my very own DeepRacer, this is going to be fun to play with! Werner Vogels Keynote So...

AWS re:Invent 2018: Build a Photo-Sharing App with AI-Powered Face and Object Detection - MOB306

Nov 29, 2018

Dustin Noyes and Gabriel Hollombe from AWS Another workshop, so my fingers have been getting a workout today, and no easy passive listening to speaker sessions for me! This workshop was another one I didn't have any previous knowledge of and seemed interesting to learn something new like my previous session: ( You can play along at home with good instructions ( We had to build a data-driven web a...

AWS re:Invent 2018: DeepRacer Workshop - AIM206

Nov 29, 2018

Well, we were super lucky. I was excited before as you can't get more hackathon than a Robocar Rally which this was in the session list as. During the ( this morning, DeepRacer was announced which is a machine learning car. I'm the first to admit I haven't done much machine learning so this appealed to me as it was for developers with no prior ML or robotic experience. You can play along: ( We...

AWS re:Invent 2018: Inside AWS: Technology Choices for Modern Applications - SRV305

Nov 29, 2018

Tim Bray from AWS, very distinguished software engineer, developed XML and JSON! AWS is happy to sell you some of everything. The AWS console is a vast list of choices, but how do you chose when there are multiple technologies to link together to achieve an outcome, never mind multiple options of the dame thing? Multiple databases, multiple streaming options, multiple instance types. Serverless...

AWS re:Invent 2018: Modern Application Development: A Leadership Discussion - SRV325

Nov 29, 2018

This was in the beautiful Venetian Theatre. This was a leadership discussion which had interested me as I wanted to hear a different perspective. I've done a fair few deep dive technical sessions so wanted an executive higher level view particularly looking at how to "do" faster innovation. AWS has so many choices across serverless, containers, and developer tools, how and what do you pick? Dav...

AWS re:Invent 2018: The Day 3 Buzz

Nov 29, 2018

Into Day 3 of the conference which is when more of the announcements start rolling in! As I've settled into Vegas time zone, this felt like an early wake up to make it in time to the keynote as there was going to be a queue. It would be far more sensible to stay in a hotel or other venue and watch remotely but feeling the reactions in the room for the announcements seems more interesting. The k...
