App Deployment Is More Than Just Writing Code
When I first started learning about application development, I thought creating an app was mostly about writing code, designing the interface, and making sure the features worked. Once the application was built, I assumed the next step would be to publish it and let people use it. However, as [...]

Longest Prefix Match: Understanding Advanced Concepts in VPC Peering

VPC Peering Basics In AWS, a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) peering connection is a networking connection between two VPCs which allows you to route specific traffic between them using either private IPv4 addresses or IPv6 addresses. A VPC peering connection can be created between your own VPCs, or alternatively, a VPC in another AWS account. You can also create an inter-region VPC peering connection where the VPCs are located in different AWS Regions. Amazon [...]

How to invalidate API Gateway Cache

To invalidate an existing cache entry of a request and retrieve the latest data from the integration endpoint, one must send the request together with the Cache-Control: max-age=0 header. If the recipient is authorized to communicate directly to the integration endpoint, then the integration endpoint will respond with the latest data for the request. This also replaces the existing cache entry with the new response. The IAM Policy that grants a client to invalidate [...]

Top 5 Free AWS Review Materials

Currently, the cost of an AWS Certification exam starts from 150 USD for associate-level exams and up to a whopping 300 USD for professional-level and specialty-type exams. For some, this amount is negligible but to many IT professionals around the world, this amount is relatively expensive. The official AWS Practice Exam ranges from 20 to 40 USD, which you can only take once (unless you shell out another $20 or $40 again in order to retake it). On [...]

Calculating the Required Read and Write Capacity Unit for your DynamoDB Table

Read Capacity Unit On-Demand Mode When you choose on-demand mode, DynamoDB instantly accommodates your workloads as they ramp up or down to any previously reached traffic level. If a workload’s traffic level hits a new peak, DynamoDB adapts rapidly to accommodate the workload. The request rate is only limited by the DynamoDB throughput default table limits, but it can be raised upon request. For on-demand mode tables, you don't need to specify how much [...]

AWS Lambda Integration with Amazon DynamoDB Streams

Amazon DynamoDB is integrated with AWS Lambda so that you can create triggers, which are pieces of code that automatically respond to events in DynamoDB Streams. With triggers, you can build applications that react to data modifications in DynamoDB tables. After you enable DynamoDB Streams on a table, associate the DynamoDB table with a Lambda function. AWS Lambda polls the stream and invokes your Lambda function synchronously when it detects new stream records. Configure [...]

Kinesis Scaling, Resharding and Parallel Processing

Kinesis Resharding enables you to increase or decrease the number of shards in a stream in order to adapt to changes in the rate of data flowing through the stream. Resharding is always pairwise. You cannot split into more than two shards in a single operation, and you cannot merge more than two shards in a single operation. The Kinesis Client Library (KCL) tracks the shards in the stream using an Amazon DynamoDB table, [...]

DynamoDB Scan vs Query

Scan The Scan operation returns one or more items and item attributes by accessing every item in a table or a secondary index. The total number of scanned items has a maximum size limit of 1 MB. Scan operations proceed sequentially; however, for faster performance on a large table or secondary index, applications can request a parallel Scan operation. Scan uses eventually consistent reads when accessing the data in a table; therefore, the result [...]
