I help clients go faster for less using serverless technologies.
For illustration purposes only, here’s how you can implement the QuickSort algorithm in a few lines of code:
Note that I’ve not made the list generic to avoid complications and performance overheads associated with dealing with generics. Even then, my 5-line implementation pales in comparison with the built-in sort function:
This just goes to show how good the built-in functions are 
!
In case you’re wondering how a generic version of my QuickSort implementation would do in comparison, here’s the results:
Generic equality or comparison is pretty slow, so where possible (not in this case unfortunately) you should mark functions that requires generic comparison ‘inline’ to boost performance.
Whenever you’re ready, here are 3 ways I can help you:
- Production-Ready Serverless: Join 20+ AWS Heroes & Community Builders and 1000+ other students in levelling up your serverless game. This is your one-stop shop for quickly levelling up your serverless skills.
- I help clients launch product ideas, improve their development processes and upskill their teams. If you’d like to work together, then let’s get in touch.
- Join my community on Discord, ask questions, and join the discussion on all things AWS and Serverless.
This is not quicksort, the concat is O(n)
