Bret and Nirmal are joined by Ken Collins, AWS Serverless Hero and Principal Engineer at Custom Ink to discuss all things Lambda and to dig into the details of running containers in serverless. 💥 This episode is brought to you by our valued sponsor and friends at Uffizzi! 💥Platform teams need control.  Dev Teams need autonomy.  Uffizzi provides a multi-tenant, Kubernetes Native foundation that accomplishes both. Every engineer gets self-service, sandboxed virtual clusters. Every team can have templating that works for them - all within a managed control plane. Runs on our infrastructure or yours.Spin up your first sandbox cluster in under a minute on the Free Starter Tier at https://www.uffizzi.com Ken and I have known each other for probably 15 years in the local tech scene here in coastal Virginia. And I've always respected him for being a leader in that community, always wanting to talk at a meetup or help in some way. So when he reached out wanting to talk about his company using containers on AWS Lambda, it was an easy sell for me because I knew it would be a great show. And then I learned some of the updates Lambda has had over the years, particularly when it comes to container workflows. We had some great audience questions and no shortage of topics around using modern Lambda and serverless. Live recording of the complete show from September 7, 2023 is on YouTube (Ep. #233). ★Topics★Custom Ink tech blogRails and LambdaLambda Web AdapterLambda sidecar pattern in KubernetesThe case for Rails on LambdaLambda RAG OpenAILearn Serverless Creators & Guests Bret Fisher - Host Cristi Cotovan - Editor Beth Fisher - Producer Ken Collins - Guest Nirmal Mehta - Host (00:00) - Intro (02:06) - What Does Lambda Have to Do with Containers?
