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 [...]

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 [...]

Building Code-Free GenerativeAI Apps with PartyRock

2023-12-05T00:19:12+00:00

What is PartyRock? It has been two weeks since Amazon announced PartyRock, an Amazon Bedrock Playground. It comes with the tagline “Everyone can build AI apps”. According to Amazon President and CEO, Andy Jassy, it was just an internal tool created by AWS developers to experiment with Foundation Models from Amazon Bedrock. The name PartyRock was in reference to it being a fun and collaborative way to experience Amazon Bedrock. I joined the party and played around with PartyRock to see what all the fuss was about, and it literally took me less than five minutes to create my first [...]
