hi Tim, That is..... AWESOME!
Very nice delivery - it flowed well with great narration. I loved @2:17 "this is the interesting piece, because PharoLambda has serialized the execution context of its application and saved it into [my S3 bucket] ... [then on the local machine] rematerializes a debugger [on that context]." There is a clarity in your video presentation that really may intrigue outsiders. As a community we should push this on the usual hacker forums - ycombinator could be a good starting point (but I'm locked out of my account there). An enticing title could be... "Debugging Lambdas by re-materializing saved execution contexts on your local machine." cheers -ben On Fri, Aug 11, 2017 at 3:37 PM, Denis Kudriashov <dionisi...@gmail.com> wrote: > This is cool Tim. > > So what image size you deployed at the end? > > 2017-08-10 15:47 GMT+02:00 Tim Mackinnon <tim@testit.works>: > >> I just wanted to thank everyone for their help in getting my pet project >> further along, so that now I can announce that PharoLambda is now working >> with the V7 minimal image and also supports post mortem debugging by saving >> a zipped fuel context onto S3. >> >> This latter item is particularly satisfying as at a recent serverless >> conference (JeffConf) there was a panel where poor development tools on >> serverless platforms was highlighted as a real problem. >> >> In our community we’ve had these kinds of tools at our fingertips for >> ages - but I don’t think the wider development community has really >> noticed.
