Serverless from an executive's perspective

Petr Konupek would like to drop a few words about the managerial perspective and how being serverless affects everyday life in the company.

Monorepo

Make your Lerna smarter

Once we initially decided to adopt serverless and started with early versions of Purple Stack, we were by common consent for mono repo organized code structure and for this purpose was Lerna definitely a clear choice. But although it's strong tool we were facing some uncovered needs.

Boříme mýty o Serverlessu v CZpodcastu

Naši kolegové Filip, Maťo a Radis byli hosty ve známém českém podcastu "CZpodcast", kde prozradili jak jsme u nás v Purple Technology začínali před pěti lety s moderní Serverless architekturou a proč je to podle nás must-have přístup pro (nejen) nově vznikající startupy.

Ohlédnutí za prvním Serverless Brno meetupem

První Serverless Brno meetup je za námi, tak si ho pojďme zrekapitulovat.

Filip on Step Functions at Serverless Summit 21

From time to time we need our State Machines to wait for some async action, for example a webhook call, and we created a mechanism which we use all over our systems.

Serverless

Asynchronous actions with AWS Step Functions

Callback Patterns are a very powerful feature of AWS Step functions, providing an easy way how to control the state machine execution flow. Let's build a scalable solution which helps us track the current state of an execution and handles external asynchronous actions triggered by other services.

Meetup

Serverless Brno Meetup #1

V Purple Technology používáme Serverless architekturu už více než 4 roky a právě používání Serverlessu nám umožnilo co nejefektivněji využít naše kapacity. Společně s dalšími řečníky a s vámi chceme rozšířit povědomí o tomhle přístupu, protože v Česku pořád není známý tak, jak by si zasloužil.

Intro to Serverless

4. Amazon API Gateway

Amazon API Gateway is a very flexible cloud service, mostly used to create a REST API powered by a lambda function. I am going to take you through the instructions on how to create a simple HTTP GET endpoint with the help of the Serverless Framework, and how we can return a response in JSON.

3. Overview of the basic AWS Serverless services

The AWS services that I’m going to show you today have many different uses; I’ll focus only on their important features from the serverless architecture point of view.

Frontend

Mocking the Frontend

When it’s time to redesign that page do you really need to connect to some payment provider’s API just to see the consequences of changing the colors the user sees after making a deposit? This is where decoupling and mocking the interactions for the backend is worth it.

Lessons learned: AWS AppSync Subscriptions

In this article we will get a bit more deeper into mechanisms of AppSync Subscriptions because even though they are documented in the AppSync documentation we couldn't see or understand some of the behaviours.

2. Serverless Framework

The Serverless Framework is a CLI tool which provides the deployment infrastructure needed for your serverless application to run seamlessly. It supports around 10 cloud providers, such as AWS and already has a fairly extensive plugin ecosystem—thanks to which it can be adjusted to suit your needs.

A story about the beginning of PurpleStack

This is a story about a group of people who found their passion in technology and architecture, how this passion planted a seed that grew in our current technological stack, and how we built a senior developers’ team from it today.

1. Intro to Serverless

In case you haven’t heard of Serverless yet, listen up. It might change the way you design and manage your applications – just like it did for us at Purple Technology back in 2017 when we adopted the technology.

Culture

Code the way you want to live

Each person is unique. We want to celebrate that. We let you live life the way you want to live it. It’s your life after all—not ours. Purple Technology pays for the value you bring and the rest is up to you. But is this for everyone?

Web-Tech

From LAMP to Serverless

I learned to code on the job without any training in a production-only environment. Looking back, it’s a miracle that I survived.

Why you’ll end-up with Jira anyway

We have been building our development team for quite a few years now, during which we've tried many different approaches to task management. Along the way we have both failed and learned a lot. Let me share that story.
