Platform engineering is the discipline of designing and building toolchains and workflows that enable self-service capabilities for software engineering organizations in the cloud-native era.

Platform Engineering

Pls if you have a voucher for AWS CCP
Help me out:pray:

Hi all, I'm currently considering VPC lattice for our serverless architecture. Does anyone have any war stories for this service?

Hi all, I'm looking for a way to measure how much time does it take for a target to be in healthy state once it's attached to a target group in AWS. What will be the right metric to measure this?

It depends what you mean by "healthy state"... from the perspective of the load balancer - if the target is returning adequate 200's over a period of time then it will be considered healthy. Maybe a combination of HealthyHostCount and UnHealthyHostCount would give you the result you're after.

Hi <@U057H4HA1QR>,

To measure how much time it takes for a target to become healthy after it's attached to an AWS Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) target group, you can use a combination of CloudWatch metrics and custom scripting. The exact metric you need to focus on is the "UnhealthyHostCount" metric for your target group, as this metric represents the number of targets that are currently unhealthy.

Totally random question for the AWS folks, do you use Event Bridge for platform related things? If so what do you use it for?

I currently use it to funnel events to be consumed by lambdas for various ChatOps/3rd Party Integration targets but looking to see if there are other common use cases

Events for account creation and orchestration. When new account is created, event bridge rule to fire off when account is ready and can be configured (cloudformation stack sets, service managed and self managed). Also use event bridge for any async calls that may take a while to complete. Though decoupling events from the actual deployment can make it difficult to troubleshoot.

I’m in Vegas and plan to attend all the sessions related to platform engineering. If anyone else is interested, we could bump into each other at the sessions.

I’m doing the same and would love that! Did you sign up for PeerTalk through the re:Invent app?

I’ll be hitting the expo hall up about 3pm. Would love to hear about the talks you’ve been to 

<@U05QQB4QZGW> Sorry, just saw this. I am at Werner Vogels talk now. But, I’ll be around campus today if you want to meetup somewhere to chat / connect

Hey Dylan sounds good. I’m in meetings but will likely have a gap this afternoon. I’ll drop you a message
