I worked on this project in college and went to the South Pole in 2009. Happy to see it is still making discoveries!

Please do!

Azure Cosmos DB does. There is a good video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYX6UrY_ooA

I worked on this project in college and went down to the south pole after graduation to help install some of the detectors. Neat to see the results! ~10 years later.

Yes. bustle.com, romper.com, and elitedaily.com are all 100% serverless and do 80+ million unique visitors per month. GraphQL+AWS Lambda

More specifically React https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric

I also find `this` is terrible for linting. Most tools won't be able to figure you what you attached to `this` at runtime. It's a grab bag object ripe for bugs.

Very straightforward. We send text, they send back categories. We then map those to IAB categories in our own code

The mapping is custom. Not something they have out of the box.

I see this comment a lot. The issues are the same with any REST API. Often they have been solved many times by the community or are baked into whatever backend framework you happen…

Yes. We use the Natural Language Understanding service at www.bustle.com for doing categorization of content. It maps decently to IAB categories: https://www.iab.com/guidelines/iab…

Martin Fowler's serverless post was written by Mike Roberts. It is just hosted on Martin's blog.

The place you linked in Philly is a few blocks from my house. I've been a handful of times. Much more of a restaurant. I think it is a good example of a place trying to do too many…

We haven't seen any issues. Most of our latency critical functions are called a lot. We do get significant spikes in traffic but our CDN does handle some of that load.

API Gateway needs less config since they released the proxy style integration. In Lambda's case this means you can just return a JSON object like: { "statusCode": 200, headers: {},…

If you go to www.bustle.com or www.romper.com you get a JS app server side rendered by AWS Lambda and delivered through API Gateway (CDN in front of that). We do 50+ million unique…

In graphQL they are called mutations http://graphql.org/graphql-js/mutations-and-input-types/

You are definitely not wrong. In our case the benefits have far outweighed the harshness from the bleeding edge. But for sure we have had to do a thing or two that I would rather n…

Reading the article, I come to the opposite conclusion. Of course I need GraphQL! I want these problems solved out of the box. I want to build on the shoulders of smart people who …

Mostly it is not a big problem for us. Our functions that need to be fast have very high traffic. Our other functions don't need to be that fast. We also have a CDN in front of mos…

We use Lambda and API gateway for all production[1] requests. HTML, Server side rendered JS, API calls. All through lambda. There are some rough edges. We wrote our own framework/d…

Thanks!
