Towards AWS’ Post

🚀 Excited to share my latest project integrating AWS API Gateway, SQS, and Lambda! This serverless architecture efficiently handles API requests, queues messages, and processes them asynchronously with Lambda functions. Check out the project on GitHub: https://lnkd.in/eNsitaze. Key features include secure RESTful APIs, reliable message queuing, and serverless compute. This project showcases the power of AWS services in building scalable applications. #AWS #Serverless #CloudComputing #TechInnovation

So!!! Many in my connections want to dive into AWS, ace interviews, or gain hands-on experience! 💡 Sharing a top tip 💡 : nothing beats hands-on learning 😎 ! I found a really good YouTube video where it shows how to build a maths web app in under 20 mins using Amplify, Lambda, IAM, API Gateway, and DynamoDB. The speaker explains the services, their usage, and even provides an architecture diagram (high level, introductory and simple to understand). Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/ehUYwTCW [it's not an aws official training video - disclaimer it's my personal opinion/recommendation] After following the video myself to make sure you all can find it valuable, here are some key points. Make sure that: - When uploading the index.html zip to Amplify, name the pre-zip file as index.html for Amplify to find it. - Amplify lacks an intuitive interface for deleting apps; I used the amplify cli for cleanup. More info: https://lnkd.in/eqvVgnBW Enjoy the building process and remember... consume digest process and progress! Do discuss these projects during interviews or coffee chats. Keep learning and growing!!! #aws #learning #building

One more enhancement of AWS CloudFormation Hooks we launched this week: you can now author your hooks with CloudFormation Guard domain specific language! Simply store (and/or reuse) your Guard rules as an S3 object to validate your resource, stack, change set, and CCAPI operations.

🚀 New AWS Guide Alert! 🌐 Curious about how to create an AWS Lambda Function and use Function URLs? I've got you covered! 💡 In my latest Medium article, I break down the steps to help you deploy and scale your code with ease. If you're working with cloud services, this one's for you! ☁️ #AWS #Lambda #CloudComputing #Serverless #Python #TechGuide #Programming #DevOps #AWSLambda

Learn by example! When you need to process files for text one easy solution is to use AWS Textract. It works with PDF docs, handwritten text images, and more. Using serverless tools on AWS to set up an interface to use Textract works well and there is an example project below. Taking advantage of events that get generated when objects are added to S3 buckets is what drives many event-driven solutions. These events can trigger other actions in AWS like calling a Lambda function. The article from Olga Shabalina describes this all and includes all the code to try it for yourself. Both synchronous and async versions of this are included. https://lnkd.in/eRGRJHBc

I've been diving into Azure and API development recently but found myself bouncing between tutorials, YouTube videos, and documentation. It was challenging to find a comprehensive guide that covers everything from development to deployment, including advanced features like adding keys and testing. After a lot of hands-on development and exploration, I figured I had to compile everything into a detailed guide. So whether you're starting from scratch or looking to elevate your API to the next level within the Azure platform, this guide should have you covered! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gwGrYpbj

👋 Hey, serverless enthusiasts! We're excited to share AWS Community Builder, Amanda Quint's article on using CDK for Third-Party HTTP Endpoints in AWS Step Functions. 🎉 Find it here 🔗 https://go.aws/3TB0JJ0 In this article, Amanda shares her experience integrating a third-party ticketing system with her data pipeline built on AWS Step Functions. She walks us through the process of using AWS CDK to define the necessary infrastructure as code for this integration. 🚀 Here are 5 takeaways from Amanda's article: 🔑 Learn how to set up an EventBridge Connection to securely authenticate with a third-party API using an API key. 🔐 Understand the IAM policies required for your Step Functions State Machine to invoke HTTP endpoints and access EventBridge Connection secrets. 💻 Discover how to define a custom state in CDK to call a third-party HTTP endpoint using Amazon States Language (ASL). 🔍 Get insights into debugging and testing strategies for your HTTP tasks within Step Functions. 🚀 Explore the potential of using HTTP endpoints in Step Functions to simplify your serverless workflows. Amanda's article is a perfect example of how AWS Community members sharing their knowledge and experiences to help others navigate the ever-evolving world of cloud technologies. 🙌 So, let's give a round of applause to Amanda for her valuable contribution! 👏 And don't forget to connect with your local AWS User Groups or Cloud Clubs (student UG's) to learn, share, and grow together in the world of AWS. #AWSCommunity #CDK #AmazonEventBridge
