While doing an internship back in 2015, I happened to pair with this esteemed gentleman from a top MNC whom my uni was consulting for a revamp of the infra. …

Friday evenings, that’s when you normally face the worst of your nightmares. For us it’s generally the unpredictable behaviour of the systems we are not familiar with that don’t bother to reveal it during the weekdays. This was just one of them. I’ve been working with serverless for quite a…
