Hi, I'm Alex DeBrie
I'm an AWS Hero providing training and consulting with expertise in DynamoDB, serverless applications, and cloud-native technologies.
I've worked with all kinds of clients, product companies to consultancies; from government agencies to publicly-traded enterprises. No matter your situation, I want to help you and your team use AWS well.
Sometimes I write things. Usually about AWS, serverless, or DynamoDB.
You can find my most recent articles below.
- Event-Driven Architectures vs. Event-Based Compute in Serverless Applications
- Why I (Still) Like the Serverless Framework over the CDK
- Key Takeaways from the DynamoDB Paper
- Understanding Eventual Consistency in DynamoDB
- CAP or no CAP? Understanding when the CAP theorem applies and what it means.
