Today, I am very excited to announce our plans to open a new AWS Region in the Nordics! The new region will give Nordic-based businesses, government organisations, non-profits, and global companies with customers in the Nordics, the ability to leverage the AWS technology infrastructure from data centers in Sweden.

kellabyte : LOL at racking up an AWS bill of $140,000 in 4 hours of compute time. kellabyte : Recently I got to work on a project that really stressed Amazon AWS scalability. We spun up a cluster of 100,000 AWS instances multiple times. Google applies bulk discounts after the fact, AWS makes you ask for them ahead of time.

If you don’t have a device at hand, emulate mobile experience on desktop by testing on a throttled network (e.g. To make the performance impact more visible, you could even introduce 2G Tuesdays or set up a throttled 3G network in your office for faster testing. 150ms RTT, 1.5 Mbps down, 0.7 Mbps up) with a throttled CPU (5× slowdown).

Globally in 2018–2019, according to the IDC, 87% of all shipped mobile phones are Android devices. If you don’t have a device at hand, emulate mobile experience on desktop by testing on a throttled 3G network (e.g. Moto G4) on a slow 3G network, emulated at 400ms RTT and 400kbps transfer speed. 300ms RTT, 1.6 Mbps down, 0.8

AWS Redshift FTW! yishengdd : However from my own experience, AWS Amplify is 10x better than Google Firebase. While the market prices of the coins are quite volatile, the network hashrates for three of the four cryptocurrencies have trended consistently upward, suggesting that energy requirements will continue to increase.

How will AI adopters react when the cost of renting infrastructure from AWS, Microsoft, or Google rises? The same thing happened to networking 20 or 25 years ago: wiring an office or a house for ethernet used to be a big deal.
