Hacker News with Generative AI: AWS

AWS Service Changes (amazon.com)
At AWS, we understand that the decision to end support for a service or feature significantly impacts customers. We approach such decisions only after careful consideration. When end of support is necessary, we provide customers detailed guidance on available alternatives and comprehensive support for migration, ensuring minimal disruption to customer operations.

Unit testing using mocks in Go (golangbot.com)
I generally prefer testing my code without using mocks. For example, if the code is integrated with Elastic Search, I prefer to run a elastic search container locally and test the Go code against that container. But there are some cases where creating a local environment for testing is not possible. This usually happens when integrating with cloud providers. Let’s take the case where the code is creating a AWS s3 bucket.
