blog.spotinst.com is the company blog at blog.spotinst.com, writing about systems and programming. Since 2016, 5 different Hacker News readers have linked it 5 times. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link Spotinst posts on serverless computing. One commenter cites a best-practices post on keeping connection pools in the global scope of AWS Lambda code, and another links a post in the thread on the hidden costs of serverless.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
What Hacker News says?
Connection pools always worked quite well with Lambdas, as long as the connection pool was initiated in the global scope of the running code, and not within the handler function.
