Posit's IDE now ships as a custom SageMaker Studio image, and queries to Athena, Glue and S3 run on the Space role's permissions while Posit Assistant authenticates to Bedrock with the same environment credentials.

Apache Storm ships no maintained Helm chart and no migration guide, so one team wrote its own templates for EKS. The first thing that broke was a StorageClass name, and the only symptom was an init container log line.

A dev.to walkthrough puts a quantized Llama 3.2 3B on up to 10,000 concurrent Lambdas and writes a million daily briefings for $48. The timing math is internally consistent. The per-GB-second price behind the $48 is unstated.
