Sparta v1.7.3: The Documentation Edition 📚
Moved all the @gohugoio markdown into the master branch and reworked the docs for https://gosparta.io.
See https://gosparta.io/meta/ for editing info.
CHANGES: https://github.com/mweagle/Sparta/blob/master/CHANGES.md#v173---the-documentation-edition-
#serverless #go
Replying to @GoHugoIO

Documentation help most appreciated!

+💯for show rather than tell. Be honest about path-dependence: an OSGi monolith shouldn’t be looking at “fully serverless” in 2019. Discuss financial costs in the context of feature parity *and* things that were not possible or even measured before.
Replying to @ben11kehoe, @ajaynairthinks, @jeremy_daly, @PaulDJohnston, @brianleroux, @sbarski and @jeffhollan
Agree - also time spent. IME a lot of ops time isn’t typically accounted for until measuring “out of normal working hours responses” is something that is measured and compensated.
Eg: how much OOB time & flow interruption spent to mitigate VM Spectre vs Lambda auto-patching?
IMO the goal is to improve software delivery perf. per Accelerate:
* Lead Time * Deployment Frequency * Mean Time to Restore (MTTR) * Change Fail Percentage
Serverless (aka, “Build Less”) *can* be an amazing way to improve those metrics

Any recommendations for case-study books that chronicle how real world problems were decomposed & resulting system built/evolved?

Going through my reading backlog I’m finding it’s biased to “How to do X”, rather than “How we discovered our X exists and decided it was worth doing.”

Replying to @mweagle
Yes and curious why this applies to FaaS moreso than containers.
Replying to @brianleroux
Suggested resolution: prefer “Higher X capabilities are correlated with high performing organizations” over “The average developer should care more about X”.

Happy Cake Day @listonb! 🎉🎂
Replying to @richburroughs
Isn’t that goal also shared by a k8s platform though?
IMO FaaS is a small part of building services biased towards integrating stateful cloud resources rather than building/sustaining those resources.
It’s a huge shift for development as well I think.
TIL there is a cheez-it bowl. Move aside, weed-eater bowl.

Replying to @richburroughs
I understand moving to k8s for “legacy”/constrained apps & trying to get some HA/ops/cost awareness around them. I don’t really understand why I’d want to run it for greenfield/strangler pattern migrations.
Replying to @richburroughs
Either way, writing an event-based/FaaS app for any environment is a big shift in development. Can’t use the tricks that are often hidden in a lot of N tier apps.
There is room for both and both need each other. I wish they weren’t pitted against each other. 😀
Replying to @bobuva
“One ideal way to scale FaaS is to run an open source FaaS that runs on a container orchestrator like Kubernetes. That way, you can still take advantage of the developer benefits of FaaS, while taking advantage of the pricing models of virtual machines.” https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/designing-distributed-systems/9781491983638/ch08.html
Replying to @dberkholz
This is the rationale
Nested containers with a versioned API to decouple work envelope from payload. YAML to parameterize handler with script.
I am far from the land of #serverless Zip code bundles.

Yep.

The EIP overviews were helpful, but I was pretty confused by the FaaS/k8s/event-driven/#serverless arguments.
Replying to @BashanGal
I can see that being true for some businesses.
I am skeptical that’s the majority of businesses though.

TBH I’m less concerned about whether something is called “serverless” than whether it enables more resilient systems, increases organizational performance, and lowers ambient cortisol levels.
Outcomes, not inputs.

Yep & API-G Proxy mapping is at odds with the WAF guidelines.
fite me.
Replying to @QuinnyPig, @brianleroux, @edyesed, @danveloper, @matthewcp, @goserverless and @PureSecTeam
Proxy trades reduced API-G configuration (which is, err, “verbose”) in exchange for union of IAM privs and internal Lambda routing. HTTP safe methods don’t need mutating privs.
Replying to @danveloper, @matthewcp, @QuinnyPig and @brianleroux
I often have to read the SDK to figure out what privs a given compound API call needs. Lots of trial and error. Makes the `*` option really tempting.

(Moving out of mentions...)
@prestomation Agree that’s a scoped usage. Still stand by the position that https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/api-gateway-set-up-simple-proxy.html offers a tantalizing lower-config promise that is at odds with POLA & encourages monolambdas.
