Unlocking AWS Lambda@Edge: Bringing Serverless to the Edge of the Cloud

AWS Lambda@Edge extends AWS Lambda’s serverless capabilities to AWS CloudFront, allowing you to run code closer to your users.
It’s particularly useful in scenarios where milliseconds matter, such as personalizing web content, securing and validating requests, A/B testing and real-time user authentication.
AWS Lambda@Edge brings computation closer to users, improving performance and enabling new architectures.
Lambda@Edge scales automatically with CloudFront, and developers only pay for the compute time used, making it cost-efficient for many workloads.
To start using Lambda@Edge, you need to set up an AWS Lambda function with a specific CloudFront event trigger.
Lambda@Edge facilitates A/B testing by distributing different versions of your website or application to users based on configurable criteria.
This allows you to experiment with new features or layouts in real-time and measure their impact, without the latency of querying distant servers.
Lambda@Edge was a fantastic introduction to the power of serverless architecture.
Developers can focus on writing code rather than managing servers since AWS manages all the infrastructure for them.
Lambda@Edge can be useful in scenarios like global e-commerce platforms, security, request validation to avoid suspicious IP addresses.

Epson EcoTank ET-3850 review: an affordable and fast tank printer

The EcoTank ET-3850 is compact and affordable all-in-one printer with a two-year supply of ink.
It has one paper tray with a 250-sheet capacity, and the ADF can hold 30 sheets at a time.
The first page comes out in 10 seconds, and the monochrome document averages 15.5 pages per minute while the color is over half that pace.
The EcoTank ET-3850 handles photos quite well. It has excellent picture quality on glossy photo paper, and plain paper pictures are also of good quality.
The scanner can capture up to 1,200 dots per inch. Copies can be made with the ADF, reaching up to 11 ppm in the monochrome and 5 ppm in color.
The EcoTank ET-3850 supports computer connections via Wi-Fi 2.4 and 5 GHz, Wi-Fi Direct, Ethernet, and USB.
It is an economical and fast printer, and an average monochrome page costs three-tenths of a cent per page, while color documents cost about eight-tenths of a cent per page.
It’s a good choice for a busy home office as it takes care of business throughout the day and doubles as a photo printer for personal use on the weekends.
However, small businesses might need full duplex copying, greater speed, and security features. A well-rated color laser printer often fits best in a hectic work environment.
If you need to send or receive facsimiles, Epson’s EcoTank ET-4850 is a direct competitor to HP’s equally fast and economical Smart Tank 7602.
