Apple enthusiasts turned out to be quite excited to play around with all the new iOS upgrades, especially app-icons. And

Finally, six days after his initial tweet, the icon-designer had already managed over $100,000. That’s six figures in six days. “The right content, posted at the right time, can create unimaginable results,” writes Traf. And he’s not done yet, as he’s just about to touch $300,000 at the time of this writing.,Even if you offload operating Kubernetes to a managed Kubernetes service such as EKS, GKE or AKS, deploying and operating applications on Kubernetes properly also has a learning curve. Your development team should be up for the challenge. A lot of benefits can only be realised if your team follows the DevOps philosophy. If you have central sysadmin teams writing manifests for applications developed by other teams, we personally see lesser benefit of Kubernetes from the perspective of DevOps. Of course, there are numerous other benefits that you can choose Kubernetes for, for example cost, faster experimentation, faster auto-scaling, resilience, etc.,Finally, six days after his initial tweet, the icon-designer had already managed over $100,000.

Are you confident that Kubernetes is the only way to solve your problems? You must be clear about your motivations as migrating an existing infrastructure to Kubernetes is a big undertaking.,In this post, we would like to reflect on our experience and share our learning from this journey with you, to help you make better decisions and increase your chances of success.,The TimeUTC element (line 284) is a string (in DynamoDB) and the incoming JSON already has it as standard ISO format so it can just be set directly like this. It is used as the Sort Key in this table, so having it in ISO format makes it properly sortable.,All that serverless and containers thing is nice. If you are starting a new business and building everything from scratch, by all means go ahead and deploy your applications using containers and orchestrate them using Kubernetes if you have the bandwidth (or may be not, read on) and the technical skills to configure and operate Kubernetes as well as deploy applications on Kubernetes.,A VTL foreach loop (line 279) is used to iterate over the incoming list of events, and map each one to a PutRequest. Note that the incoming events are just a simple JSON array/list of single level of attributes, but if they had nested elements, you’d just use this same dot syntax to traverse deeper as needed.,Luckily for him, his icon-tweet ended up with hundreds of retweets, thousands of likes, and over a hundred thousand impressions, within a day. “The day after that, almost a million,” he says.,Traf was quick to notice all the hype around custom icons and to the initial response that his own design had received. So he acted on his impulse and decided to package his icon-set and offer it at a $28 price tag on his website. According to Traf, the entire process took less than two hours.,The user’s Cognito ID can be extracted from the $context.authorizer.cliams.sub element (line 283). But, as you can see, this is inserting additional data for DynamoDB that wasn’t part of the original HTTP request’s JSON, as well as showing how to get to the Cognito data.,Now, the bestselling author Jen Sincero is back with a new book that throws a wrench into our conventional, habit-building wisdom. In Badass Habits, she asserts that changing your habits is as much about shifting your perception of who you are as it is a byproduct of systems and strategies to make the change stick. Forge spoke with Sincero about overcoming fear of the unknown to build the habits we want.,In simple words, Marques introduced Traf’s icon-set to his audience of millions of viewers. For Traf, it was a shout-out of a lifetime. “The next thing I knew,” writes Traf, “I was making $28 what felt like every 28 seconds.” He eventually had to turn his smartphone notifications off.,If you don’t know Marques (or MKBHD), he’s quite famous in the YouTube tech-community, he’s almost as big as it gets, and, also, my personal favorite. Anyway, Marques used Traf’s icons in his video to create one of his own home-screen layouts and left a link to Traf’s website in case anyone was interested.,Almost two years back, we took the decision to leave behind our Ansible based configuration management setup for deploying applications on EC2 and move towards containerisation and orchestration of applications using Kubernetes. We have migrated most of our infrastructure to Kubernetes. It was a big undertaking and had its own challenges — from technical challenges of running a hybrid infrastructure until most of the migration is done to training the entire team on a completely new paradigm of operations to name a few.
