For the last few months, I've been working on a tool that simplifies monitoring and troubleshooting serverless apps. It's called Cloudash. Think of it as a desktop app for AWS, tailored for the serverless use case. Today I've released the 0.1 version: github.com/cloudashdev/cl 🧵

Which mastodon server is best for cloud/webdev-related content?

Overall, the platform feels very connected and coherent. Building blocks fit together and you have an impression of a thought-through experience (the thing that I miss the most from AWS).

Integration with other services: it's done through bindings, in wrangler.toml developers.cloudflare.com/workers/platfo. Feels very simple and secure.

_unit testing_, and publishing. Configuration: There is none. You just wrote the code and run it. No memory size, handler name, nothing. Of course, you won't load 500MB into memory but why would you in a typical CRUD app?

which implements all services (KV, DO, R2, etc). Docs: they're very concise and clear. Examples: you go here developers.cloudflare.com/workers/get-st and have an immediate mental model of how to develop Workers. One page and you understand bootstrapping, local dev, handler signature, ...

there are things worth highlighting. Local development: regardless if we think it's good or bad people still want it. Sure you can use SAM CLI and dynamodb-local but it's not a _coherent_ experience. Cloudflare has an _official_ project for that miniflare.dev ...

More thoughts on Cloudflare v. AWS serverless. Cloudflare is clearly challenging AWS. It's very visible in the marketing layer ("worrying about cold starts seems ridiculous", "zero egress fee object storage"). After a couple of hours of playing with Workers...

Def feels like a complete and coherent platform. Huge progress compared to a couple of months ago.

Lambda was a breath of fresh air when servers were hard. It was awesome! In the meantime, containers got more and more effortless. It's easier than ever to build an app using a mature framework and ship it as a container. Meanwhile Lambda is getting harder and harder

Friendly reminder: if you’re a zoom meeting organizer make sure to allow participants to join before you. Here is how: 1. go to <company>.zoom.us/profile/setting 2. scroll to "Schedule Meeting” 3. switch the "Allow participants to join before host” setting

I like how

is explicit about using JSON Schema for describing the config file. Not a popular pattern in the devtools space but brings a lot of benefits.

I remember there some tool to help write least privilege IAM permissions for Lambda based on its interactions with the cloud. Probably something with analysing Cloudtrail? Use case: I have a lambda with a bunch of *s in IAM policy and I want to scope it properly. Anyone?

The obvious next step is that you will be able to run Cloudash from @goserverless/AWS CDK app folder and Cloudash will automatically show you logs/metrics for that app.

With Cloudash, your AWS logs & metrics are always only a few keystrokes away. Just type "cloudash" in your terminal.

When I hear someone say “Serverless development is too hard!”, 96.2% of the time it’s because they’re deploying with: - Raw CloudFormation and bash scripts - AWS CLI + bash scripts - AWS console Don’t do this! Use a deployment tool! There are so many — pick one at random.

That’s the old measure. As we doubled down on communication we measure a number of Slack messages.

Probably 90% of the time when I log into AWS it is to do some investigation in CloudWatch logs for our serverless API. It took me less than a minute of opening

to know I needed it.

Tired of constantly switching between AWS Console tabs? Cloudash provides a laser-focused view of your AWS API Gateway, Lambda and other resources - all in a single app.
