Lambdas are a powerful feature of the Ruby language. They allow you to wrap logic and data into a portable package. In this post, we’ll cover how and when to use lambdas. You'll also learn about the difference between lambdas and Procs, and the performance profile of lambda functions. The code examples have been tested with 2.6 and 2.7 and should work with most modern Rubys. Use the links below to skip ahead in the tutorial.

Hello again. We strive to improve the productivity of developers building event-driven applications on the technology choices that best fit your organization. AWS continues to be a real powerhorse for our customers. Not just for running the workloads, but in supporting them with their native services: MSK Kafka, MSK Connect and now increasingly Glue Schema Registry. This is bringing a strong alternative to Confluent and their Kafka infrastructure offerings.

With version 5.1, Lenses is now offering enterprise support for our popular open-source Secret Provider to customers. In this blog, we’ll explain how secrets for Kafka Connect connectors can be safely protected using Secret Managers and walk you through configuring the Lenses S3 Sink Connector with the Lenses Secret Provider plugin and AWS Secret Manager.
