Pushing Application Logs from Amazon Lightsail to Amazon CloudWatch: A Step-by-Step Guide

2025-03-19T07:29:05+00:00

In my previous article, I mentioned how you can use your application logs hosted on an Amazon Lightsail instance to create a subscription filter in Amazon CloudWatch. But have you ever wondered how to push your application logs from your Lightsail instance to CloudWatch? Unlike in the EC2 instance, which allows you to easily modify the IAM role and attach the CloudWatchAgentServerPolicy, Amazon Lightsail lacks this capability in its default configuration. Pushing application logs to Amazon CloudWatch is invaluable for maintaining a robust monitoring system. It allows you to track application performance, diagnose issues in real-time, and gain deeper insights [...]

Creating a Self-Healing Mechanism for a Lightweight Website

2025-02-26T03:13:15+00:00

Downtime can be a major disruption for any website, but for lightweight websites like personal blogs or any type of static site, a simple restart of the instance might be all that's needed to resolve the issue. In this article, we'll walk through setting up a self-healing mechanism using AWS Lambda and Amazon EventBridge. This will automatically detect if your website is down, restart it, and send a notification to Slack. We'll also explore how Amazon CloudWatch can be used as a trigger for the Lambda function via a subscription filter and discuss some common causes of downtime or 5xx [...]

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for Foundation Model Customization

2024-12-02T06:01:45+00:00

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly advanced, pushing the limits of what machines can accomplish. However, one significant challenge remains: ensuring that AI responses are both accurate and contextually relevant while being up-to-date. This is where Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) comes in—a cutting-edge approach that integrates the capabilities of data retrieval with advanced AI generation techniques. In this blog, we will explore the details of RAG, discussing its benefits, applications, and how to implement it using AWS. Understanding Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) incorporates real-time data retrieval into the generative process. Unlike traditional models that depend solely on pre-trained data, RAG [...]

Streamline Your Workflow: Automating User Email Retrieval in WordPress with AWS SSM and Lambda via Slack command

2024-10-24T11:16:45+00:00

In today’s fast-paced digital environment, operational efficiency and security are important. This blog post explores a streamlined approach to retrieving user emails from specific IPs in WordPress using Slack Slash commands powered by AWS Systems Manager (SSM) and AWS Lambda. Automating this process significantly reduces the operational overhead associated with running SQL commands manually. Additionally, this method enhances security by allowing users who lack access to production environments to execute necessary scripts through Slack commands, ensuring they can perform their tasks without compromising system integrity. Retrieving User Emails in WordPress via MySQL To retrieve user emails from WordPress based on [...]

Transferring an Amazon Route 53 Domain to Another AWS Account: Troubleshooting DNS Propagation

2024-08-28T06:02:20+00:00

I recently transferred my domain to a different AWS account. However, despite waiting for the standard 24-48-hour DNS propagation period, I noticed the changes were not propagating as expected. In this article, we’ll delve into the steps I followed, potential pitfalls, and solutions to ensure a smooth domain transfer process. DNS propagation is the process of updating and reflecting changes made to your domain's DNS records across all DNS servers worldwide. When you make changes to DNS records, for example, updating your domain's IP address or name servers, these changes need to be communicated to all DNS servers on the [...]

Path-Based Routing with Application Load Balancer (AWS ALB): Efficiently Directing Traffic Based on URL Paths

2024-08-11T13:05:16+00:00

An Application Load Balancer enables you to set up a listener with rules that direct incoming requests to target groups based on the URL. This capability is unique to Application Load Balancers and is not offered by other load balancer types like Classic Load Balancer, Network Load Balancer, and Gateway Load Balancer. The path pattern rules only apply to the path of the URL and do not consider the URL's query parameters. Path-based routing allows you to host multiple microservices behind a single ALB, directing traffic to the appropriate service based on the requested path. Important Purposes of Path-based Routing [...]
