1. Last Week in AWS
Frequency: Weekly
Focus: AWS
Affiliation: Duckbill Group
You might already be familiar with Last Week in AWS. But did you know they have a newsletter? Self-described as a delightful-yet-snarky nuisance to Amazon, Last Week’s newsletter sifts through the overwhelming amount of news surrounding AWS. It presents only relevant and useful information, eliminating the unnecessary noise. Specifically designed for AWS users looking for practical content, the newsletter shares discussions, new products, best practices, and official updates. It’s also pretty user friendly – each edition is easy to scan and understand, making it great to read whilst booting up your computer or having a coffee break. Previous newsletters are available over at the archive (referred to as the Snarkive).
2. Off-by-none

Established by Jeremy Daly, Off-by-none is a newsletter all to do with serverless technology. The philosophy behind the newsletter is Jeremy’s idea that we all have the potential to excel at what we do. However, in order to achieve this we need to keep learning. Acing serverless applications is no exception. And this is where Off-by-none comes in. It focuses on the technical details behind building serverless applications and provides links to interesting articles, expert insights, tutorials, tools, use cases, and the latest industry happenings. There’s also an archive for previous newsletters for those looking to catch up.
