You can now develop your AWS Lambda function code using Ruby. AWS Lambda is a compute service that runs your code in response to events, and automatically manages the compute resources for you. 

AWS Step Functions is now integrated with eight additional AWS services, making workflows faster to build, simpler to secure, and easier to monitor.

Johanson Technology is offering high-Q capacitors with low equivalent series resistance (ESR) for high power RF applications. Called the E-Series, “in addition to minimising energy loss, Johanson Technology’s high-Q capacitors reduce thermal noise caused by ESR to assist in maintaining desired signal-to-noise ratios”, according to the firm. The firm claims to use the lowest loss …
