Comparing Amazon and Azure serverless services when developing for .NET Core

On one of our recent projects, we needed to implement an application with CRUD operations and some relateively simple integration by pushing content to two different systems, and monitor if they have been processed or not. We opted the Amazon Lambda route with Amazon DocumentDb, and the goal of this blog post is to summarize the developer experience that we faced during development of the project and comparing them to Azure Functions. As .NET developers, we faced that the developer experience is significantly better using the matching Azure technologies, and running an Amazon Lambda function locally might also have a steep learning curve for some people who are not familiar with Docker and containerization.

Invisible Women? Women’s role in the Tech in the CEE

Workforce diversity is necessary for business. Teams made up of people with greater individual differences between each other leads to higher productivity and better performance. Despite statistics showing how GDP will increase by an average of 35%with a closed gender pay gap, women in tech remain at a disadvantage over men. Where women take up less than 10% of C-Suite positionsat tech firms, there’s plenty of room to promote representation, leadership and inclusion of women at all levels –from CTO to administrator. And when it is, there is no doubt that a more motivated and higher-performing workforce will emerge.
