Lambda Calculus Through JavaScript, Part 5

Xebia

Welcome to the final installment of our lambda calculus using JavaScript tour. In this post, we are going to step back and write our own evaluator for lambda terms. Lambda terms as values Wait a minute! Weren’t we already representing lambda terms as JavaScript functions? You know, it’s turtles all the way down.

Lambda Calculus Through JavaScript, Part 3

Xebia

We’re moving fast through this lambda calculus series! In part one, we laid out the foundations for working with JavaScript as a lambda calculus , and, through part 2, we added Booleans and numbers to our repertory. The Y combinator Enter the Y combinator , a very odd-looking term in lambda calculus.

Lambda Calculus Through JavaScript, Part 4

Xebia

This is the fourth post in the Lambda Calculus Through JavaScript series. If you’re just joining us, make sure to go back and start with Lambda calculus through JavaScript, part 1. As usual, we’ll discover that lambda calculus gives us the ingredients to introduce this concept without extending the language, just by translation.

Sending OpenTelemetry Data From AWS Lambda to Honeycomb

Honeycomb

In this post, I describe how to send OpenTelemetry (OTel) data from an AWS Lambda instance to Honeycomb. I will be showing these steps using a Lambda written in Python and created and deployed using AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM). Add OTel and Honeycomb environment variables to your template configuration for your Lambda.
