Mastering AWS CDK Part 2: Leveraging Custom Constructs

2023-12-21T09:07:25+00:00

In the previous article, we delved into the fundamentals of AWS CDK, focusing on leveraging AWS's pre-built constructs. We examined a straightforward Serverless REST API architecture, which integrates three primary serverless services from AWS. These include Amazon API Gateway as the REST API's access point, AWS Lambda for computing, and Amazon DynamoDB for data storage. The Fat Lambda In contrast to the basic architecture previously discussed, it's important to note that such a setup is not typically regarded as best practice for production-grade applications. The serverless community often debates the concept of "Fat Lambda," a term used to describe scenarios [...]

In-Place Querying in AWS

2023-12-13T20:20:17+00:00

When you look at the Gartner magic quadrant of cloud service providers, AWS is still the leader and the leading visionary of the cloud computing space. It offers an array of services that empower companies and organizations to manage and analyze massive sets of data with unprecedented agility. At the core of this revolution, “In-place querying” is a technique pioneered by AWS that is reshaping how data is processed in the cloud. In this article, we will be delving into the essence of in-place querying in AWS, exploring its mechanisms, applications, and the impact it has on data management. In [...]

Batch Data Ingestion Simplified in AWS

2023-12-12T00:40:18+00:00

Today's tech industry is dominated by Big Data and Cloud Computing. It is crucial for companies and organizations to efficiently manage large volumes of data. To address this important need, AWS offers robust solutions for handling these chunks of large data, particularly through batch data ingestion. This process involves collecting and importing bulk or big data into storage or other processing systems at regular intervals or specific events. Batch data ingestion is crucial for scenarios where immediate or real-time processing is not necessary, allowing for efficient resource utilization. Batch data ingestion in AWS is not only efficient and cost-effective but [...]

Data Ingestion in AWS: Handling Homogenous and Heterogenous Data

2023-12-10T19:26:56+00:00

The phrase "data is the new oil" or "data is the new gold" may sound like a cliche, but it captures the fact that data is a critical asset for modern businesses. Companies have long used data to inform strategic decisions, especially in today's tech industry. Many organizations now build dedicated data analytics teams to harness information gathered from various sources. Yet, for an average Joe, the process of transforming data into actionable insights can seem like a black box. This is where data ingestion comes into play, serving as a crucial step in distilling structured and unstructured data into [...]

Mastering AWS CDK Part 1: Using Built-In Constructs for Serverless APIs

2023-10-27T05:39:10+00:00

In the realm of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) within AWS, CloudFormation stands out as the foundational service. Many other IaC solutions, whether it's the Serverless Framework, AWS SAM, or even Terraform, ultimately get translated into CloudFormation. Additionally, the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) has emerged as a distinct player in this space. What sets AWS CDK apart is its embrace of familiar programming languages. Instead of relying on YAML or proprietary syntax, with AWS CDK, developers can define infrastructure using languages like Python, Javascript, Typescript, Java, C#, and Go. This familiarity accelerates the adoption curve, enabling developers to direct their [...]

Cloud Native: The Future of Application Development

2024-01-30T01:05:43+00:00

If you could do a quick search on the definition of cloud native, chances are you would be confused by the amount of different sources with varying definitions. The term "cloud native" has become a buzzword within the tech industry, symbolizing a paradigm shift in how software applications are designed, developed, and deployed. But what exactly does cloud native mean? The varying definitions of cloud native may be primarily because of its evolving definition over time. While some sources define cloud native as an approach where developers initially design applications to thrive in a cloud environment, others emphasize the utilization [...]

Introduction to Kubernetes

2023-10-16T05:25:03+00:00

Containerization has set the gold standard for deploying applications on both on-premises and cloud environments. As microservices architecture becomes more popular, people increasingly embrace containerization because it naturally fits this architectural approach. Containerization brings many advantages: It guarantees portability. This technology's inherent isolation lets developers deploy their application code on various environments and operating systems without worrying about compatibility. It boosts scalability. Developers can deploy containers quickly and repeatedly. Unlike virtual machines, containers don't require booting up an entire operating system, letting developers scale up or down quickly by adding or removing containers on single or multiple machines. It enhances [...]
