Leveraging Zoom WebSockets with Postman for Real-Time Interactivity - POSTCON 2024
I'm excited to be speaking at POSTCON, where I will dive into the world of real-time data using Zoom's innovative WebSockets. We'll seamlessly test these functionalities with the help of POSTMAN. This session is designed to give you a glimpse into how we at Zoom are enhancing the real-time capabilities of our platform to ensure faster, more reliable communication. During this session, we'll explore the limitations with Webhooks and why WebSockets are becoming a preferable alternative for real-time, bi-directional communication.

Spring Boot 3 application on AWS Lambda - Part 4 Measuring cold and warm starts with AWS Serverless Java Container
The results of the experiment below were based on reproducing more than 100 cold and approximately 100.000 warm starts with Lambda function with 1024 MB memory setting for the duration of 1 hour. For it I used the load test tool hey, but you can use whatever tool you want, like Serverless-artillery or Postman.

Data API for Amazon Aurora Serverless v2 with AWS SDK for Java - Part 5 Basic cold and warm starts measurements
The results of the experiment to retrieve the existing product from the database by its id see GetProductByIdViaAuroraServerlessV2DataApiHandler with Lambda function with 1024 MB memory setting were based on reproducing more than 100 cold and approximately 10.000 warm starts with experiment which ran for approximately 1 hour. For it (and experiments from my previous article) I used the load test tool hey, but you can use whatever tool you want, like Serverless-artillery or Postman. We won't enable SnapStart on the Lambda function first.

Simple and Cost-Effective Testing Using Functions
As you can see in the above diagram, a lambda function is scheduled to be executed periodically by EventBridge. This lambda function retrieves the assets exported from Postman (test collection, environment, and global variables), injects secrets from the secrets manager and executes the tests using the newman npm package, and, in case of failures, updates metrics in CloudWatch and stores test results in the S3 bucket. An alarm is triggered in case the metrics exceed a threshold (in this case, a count of 1).
