Starting our week, we get an announcement from CloudFlare. They now have support for WebSockets for all of their customers, including those on the free plan. This is cool because you get a major provider supporting the technology, and it also shows that WebSockets are really gaining adoption. Amazon’s Big Data blog talks about integrating AWS Lambda with relational databases. Envatotuts+ has an excellent introduction to Ansible, in a two-part series of articles.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
