🏆 Featured talks of the week

Here are the must-watch talks uploaded since the last issue:

1. "Sh... Fail Happens: Fail-aware Events Processing on AWS • Marcin Sodkiewicz • GOTO 2024" ⸱ +700 views ⸱ 06 Aug 2024 ⸱ 00h 39m 40s

   A paranoid deep dive into event processing on AWS strongly focused on failures, with a dash of chaos engineering, observability, cost awareness, and best practices for implementing resilient consumers.

We will look at the history of all of these things, where they came from, and what purpose they serve. (…)

3. "Evolving Your APIs, A Step-By-Step Approach | Nicolas Fränkel (EN)" ⸱ <100 views ⸱ 05 Aug 2024 ⸱ 00h 44m 06s

   When you publish your first HTTP API, you’re more focused on short-term issues than planning for the future. However, chances are you’ll be successful, and you’ll “hit the wall”. How do you evolve your API without breaking the contract with your existing users? In this talk, I’ll first show you some tips and tricks to achieve that: moving your endpoints, deprecating them, monitoring who’s using them, and letting users know about the new endpoints (…)
