Quiz: Python, Boto3, and AWS S3: Demystified (opens on the source site)
In this quiz, you’ll test your understanding of Python, Boto3, and AWS S3: Demystified. By working through this quiz, you’ll revisit how to connect to S3 through a client or a resource, create buckets and objects, upload files, and configure storage classes and versioning. You’ll also check how to traverse your buckets, clear out a versioned bucket, and decide when to reach for Boto3 instead of an Infrastructure as Code tool.

Beyond the Hyperscalers: What Actually Protects You (opens on the source site)
Pulumi ·
Recorded September 3, 2026. Quotes are lightly edited for clarity. Maybe this sounds familiar. You run infrastructure at a company that isn’t American. Your workloads are on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, probably more than one, because that is what everyone picked. Until recently nobody asked you where the data lives or who can reach it. Now you’re getting questions. Legal wants to know what NIS2 means for where your systems run. Someone on the leadership team read that the US government locked the cloud accounts of judges at the International Criminal Court and wants to know if that could…

Migrate CloudFormation to Pulumi with Discovered Stacks (opens on the source site)
Pulumi ·
With Discovered Stacks, Pulumi Cloud does the bookkeeping for a CloudFormation migration: every resource in the stack gets an explicit migration status, and the migration is done when the code provably matches the cloud. In this tutorial, we take one real CloudFormation stack from discovered to migrated and managed by Pulumi IaC, end to end. What we’re migrating Our example is payments-api, a CloudFormation stack with 61 resources: a VPC, an Aurora ledger database behind an RDS Proxy, an assets S3 bucket, a DynamoDB ledger table, a Kinesis payment-events pipeline, and the IAM roles, KMS keys,…
Easily Develop AWS Lambda MicroVM Sandbox Architectures (opens on the source site)
AWS Lambda MicroVMs are a new compute primitive for running untrusted and agent-generated code in fully isolated Firecracker virtual machines. The Serverless Framework brings them into serverless.yml as Sandboxes, with one-command deploys and a full local MicroVMs emulator so you can build and test before you ship.
Incident Response as Code: Managing PagerDuty with Pulumi (opens on the source site)
Pulumi ·
You usually find out in the postmortem: the alarm fired, but it paged a schedule nobody was on anymore. Or the service had been running in production for three months before anyone created the matching PagerDuty service, so the first person to notice the outage was a customer. The infrastructure was code, reviewed and versioned. The incident response setup was forty clicks in a web UI, done once, by someone who has since changed teams. PagerDuty’s own engineering team has been making the case for managing PagerDuty as code for years, and the OneUptime folks recently published a hands-on guide…

How Netflix Simplified Batch Compute with Kueue (opens on the source site)
Netflix ·
By Alvin Bao, Alex Petrov, Jennifer Lai, Aidan Sherr, and Samartha ChandrashekarAs a part of the journey to transition Netflix’s compute infrastructure to be more Kubernetes-native, we have leaned into incorporating components from the Kubernetes ecosystem into our container platform Titus. One example of this is our use of Kueue, a cloud-native job queueing system for batch workloads, which has largely replaced the custom queuing and scheduling logic in our homegrown managed batch solution Compute Managed Batch (CMB). In this post, we’ll give an overview of what motivated the migration, how…
Migrating from a Monolithic Orchestrator to Apache Airflow (opens on the source site)
Photo by Corinne Kutz on UnsplashBefore we knew betterOur orchestration system started as a simple internal solution to manage event pipelines and trigger downstream jobs. Over time, as more workflows and dependencies were added, it gradually evolved into a tightly coupled monolithic scheduler that became increasingly difficult to understand and maintain.Understanding how a workflow executed often meant looking through multiple files, configurations and database tables.For newer team members, onboarding into the system took time because much of the workflow context was distributed across…
Slack AI: The Path to Multi-Cloud (opens on the source site)
Slack ·
In early 2023, Slack faced a foundational challenge: serving Large Language Models (LLMs) at enterprise scale with the security, reliability, and performance our customers expect. Over three years, we evolved from basic infrastructure to orchestrating a sophisticated multi-cloud architecture. We didn’t just want shiny new models; we needed a system resilient to regional outages and…

From SSH to REST: A Security-Driven Modernization of Slack’s EMR Data Pipelines (opens on the source site)
Slack ·
Excerpt By 2024, Slack’s data platform had accumulated 700+ SSH-based operators orchestrating critical data pipelines. We’re talking daily search indexing that processed terabytes of data, analytics jobs powering business intelligence, the whole shebang. Every single one of these jobs required direct SSH access to production AWS Elastic MapReduce (EMR) clusters. We had a massive security…
Fine-tuning a DistilBERT classifier with numerical and text inputs (opens on the source site)
Text classification is often done through fine-tuning of a pretrained foundation model with domain-specific data. In FreeAgent we use transformer based models to automatically classify incoming bank transactions. Specifically we use a DistilBERT model that is fine-tuned on hundreds of millions of bank transactions with customer-labelled accounting categories. The model inputs are currently text-based, built from a combination of bank transaction descriptions and amounts. In this post we describe an approach to fine-tuning the DistilBERT model and training the classifier including the…
Scaling Localization with AI at Lyft (opens on the source site)
Lyft ·
Written by Stefan ZierFor years, Lyft’s localization infrastructure relied exclusively on human translation. While this model usually ensured excellent quality, it was bound by multi-day turnarounds and costs that scaled linearly with every new language. For the few languages Lyft initially supported (Spanish, Portuguese, and French), these limits were acceptable.However, Lyft’s expansion goals quickly outpaced what traditional workflows could support. Lyft’s recent Québec launch required compliance with Bill 96 (legislation mandating French-first user experiences) which demanded faster…
