AWS Easy Mode == Architect.

While severely belated, I wanted to take a bit of time to talk about a really nifty project that I learned about at last October. In her talk "Architecture as Text (AWS Easy Mode)", talked about .architect - an open source project which handles provisioning of AWS / Lamda servers through the `.arc` file - a plaintext manifest file. The most amazing and wonderful fact is that with .architect in Angelina's demo, the servers were provisioned faster than DNS propagation.

Also of note, she's got a great definition for "Serverless": Functions (the var func = new Function(arg){} kind) as a service, not a web server. Abstract away the notion of a server altogether.

For more info on .architect, definitely , or the website at https://arc.codes/.
