In this article you’ll find out how to 10x your development speed with local serverless debugging. Questions such as “what happens when you scale your application into millions of requests?”, “what to expect when going serverless?”, “how does it look like?”, or “how is it to build applications on serverless and work locally?” will be addressed.

The pursuit of Digital Transformation and DevOps practices has led to several benefits such as increased deployment rates and better collaboration across teams. However, it has also led to endless abstraction, an increase in responsibilities, and many new tools (Kubernetes, hybrid-clouds and all their services, etc.). This increase in complexity has turned observability into an essential component of all ecosystems.

Here are the articles, videos, and tools that we’ve been excited about this June. We hope you enjoy these links, and we look forward to hearing what you’ve been reading in the comments or on the Interrupt Slack.

What makes JavaScript great is also what makes it frustrating to debug. Its asynchronous nature makes it easy to manipulate the DOM in response to user events, but it also makes it difficult to locate problems. And JavaScript’s ubiquity has resulted in a variety of runtimes (e.g. Chromium’s V8, Safari’s JavaScriptCore, and Firefox’s SpiderMonkey) but having so many platforms can cause dizzying idiosyncracies — all of which need to be supported equally.

When building serverless applications, Lambda functions often form the backbone of the system. They might provide just a few lines of code, but these lines are usually what hold the whole architecture composed of many managed services together. Event-driven architecture is what this style is called, and it’s most prevalent in serverless applications. API gateways collect requests from your users, convert them to events, and send these along the way.

This post is a brief overview on how the Undefined Behavior Sanitizer can be used to trap unintentional or error prone parts of a C program. We’re going to look at how it’s used on a desktop program, as well as a way to use it in small embedded programs!
