This post is an adaptation of a talk I recently gave at the Amazon Web Services (AWS) community day event in Dublin about the technical strategies I’ve experienced that don’t work and the ones that have helped us to grow and scale at Intercom. At Intercom, we’ve found success running Lambda as glue code between AWS services.
Data Teams are Becoming Software Teams : DevOps created a movement within softwaredevelopment that empowers developers to run the software they wrote. The Semantic Model Becomes a Must-Have: Semantic models unify a single definition across an organization for a particular metric.
” This definition, to reiterate my prior post on the subject , is most useful when it applies not merely to “time-is-money”, but to the speed of learning. Smart softwaredevelopment is driven by an actionable bias for paying it forward. The inputs to learning are speeding up fast.
I started just with regular softwaredevelopment, doing software of different kinds. And so when Amazon called me and they’re like, “Hey you want to come with us and do you want to actually start the mobile services, backend business within AWS?” Marco: Yeah, and that was definitely new.
Before I joined the venture capital industry many years ago, I was a softwaredeveloper, and I worked for a startup around the 2000 time period. Retail was mentioned twice, that’s it, and AWS was mentioned 78 times, so it’s probably not surprising that they’re doing this.
SaaS companies deliver software applications over the internet on a subscription basis, simplifying access and management for users. While they operate under different business models, ISVs and SaaS share similarities in softwaredevelopment, cross-platform accessibility, and industry reach.
But it is definitely your responsibility to ensure that any external services you use do not increase the risk of a security breach or corporate espionage. All popular cloud services that you probably use, think Dropbox, Slack, AWS, Gmail, etc, have such pages that spell out their security practices. Look them up.
Introducing Product Market Appetite Most discussions of product market fit begin with some squabbling over its definition—what exactly do we mean when we use this term? Rather than squabble over definitions provided by others, I’d like to introduce three definitions that have been helpful to me.
There is definitely no magic bullet to doing it right from the outset or to fixing your perceived issues in one fell swoop. DevOps is really a set of ideas and practices that emphasise a culture and environment where building, testing, and releasing software can happen rapidly, frequently, and more reliably.
Aaron Levie: So, I think there’s definitely a lot of cognitive dissonance if you’ve been doing this for so long, but the reality is most of the world hasn’t been doing this for more than the past couple of years or the past couple of weeks. Aaron Levie: That shift is definitely starting. Is AWS in the lead?
I think that storytelling is a bit of a lost art in softwaredevelopment and we’re starting to rediscover it. And being able to advocate for some of that story-based development and that marketing and product relationship in an effective way. There’s a very definitive reason why it’s that.
