Terraform vs AWS CloudFormation: Which Is Better for Building Serverless Applications?

2025-10-29T11:49:26+00:00

Serverless applications feel effortless — until you try to scale. You might start with a single AWS Lambda function. Soon, you add API Gateway endpoints, DynamoDB tables, S3 triggers, SNS notifications, and maybe Step Functions to orchestrate your workflow. Before long, your AWS console looks like a maze, and manual management becomes nearly impossible. Serverless doesn’t mean there are no servers. It means you don’t manage them. AWS handles provisioning, scaling, and maintenance while you focus on writing functions and defining triggers. However, as the number of functions and integrations grows, human error and configuration drift become real risks. Serverless [...]

Rise of Microservices in Modern Apps: From One Block to Many

2025-10-21T15:23:19+00:00

Have you ever thought about the pain of fixing just one small piece of a massive software system without accidentally breaking everything else? Honestly, most of the time, that is almost impossible. That challenge led to the rise of microservices in modern apps. It marked a shift from old monolithic architectures to smaller and independent services. This represents a significant architectural change. Developers moved away from huge, rigid monolithic setups and embraced smaller, independent systems. For a long time, developers built apps as a single block of code. This structure is known as monolithic architecture. It was fine when systems were [...]

The Future Is Containerized: Why Every Cloud Engineer Should Care About Docker in 2025

2025-10-29T12:10:55+00:00

In 2025, software development is moving faster than ever. Businesses demand speed, reliability, and scalability. Cloud infrastructure is no longer optional.  it’s the backbone of modern applications, powering everything from streaming platforms like Netflix to AI-driven fintech solutions. In this fast-paced environment, one technology has emerged as a game-changer for cloud engineers: Docker. An illustration of a developer using Docker for containerized applications. Picture this: a developer spends weeks building a web application. On their laptop, it runs flawlessly, smooth performance, no errors. But once deployed to production, chaos erupts. Dependencies don’t match, libraries are missing, the database [...]

Prevent EC2 Downtime: Setting Up Status Check Alarms to Auto-Reboot an Amazon EC2 Instance

2025-10-05T00:49:10+00:00

When you’re running a production website on an EC2 instance, the last thing you want is for it to unexpectedly go down while you’re focused on other tasks. Without the right monitoring in place, you might not even realize your site has been offline for a while, and repeated downtimes like this are unacceptable for any production application. If you’ve faced this issue before or just want to be prepared so it doesn’t happen to you, then you’re in the right place. In this article, I’ll show you a simple way to automate recovery with CloudWatch so your site stays [...]

Prevent Unforeseen Azure Costs: Setting Up Automated Slack Alerts for Your Subscription

2025-10-01T08:48:15+00:00

Cloud computing gives companies access to cutting-edge services, flexibility, and scalability. Effective cost management, however, is one of the main challenges to cloud adoption. Despite Azure's robust offerings, businesses risk unexpectedly high costs if they don't have active monitoring. Image generated by Gemini This is where cost monitoring and automated notifications come into play. By proactively tracking cloud expenses and sending cost summaries to communication platforms like Slack, teams can take immediate action, enforce budgets, and maintain financial governance. In this article, we’ll walk through building a cost notifier system that fetches Azure subscription costs, breaks them down by service, and [...]

Career Shift to Cloud Engineering: The Skills I’m Learning First

2025-09-20T12:04:51+00:00

When I first decided to shift my career to cloud engineering, I had zero tech background. I didn’t study IT, didn’t know programming, and felt completely lost when terms like Linux, Python, SQL, and GitHub started popping up everywhere. At first, I even questioned whether I could really do this. But here’s the truth: you don’t need to be a genius to learn cloud engineering. You just need curiosity, consistency, and the right tools to practice hands-on. For me, two resources made all the difference: TechKubo, which offers browser-based playgrounds for Linux, Python, and SQL, and Tutorials Dojo, which provides [...]

The AWS AI Ripple: Compute, Services, and Generative Intelligence

2025-09-12T09:08:43+00:00

In 2006, building AI required a PhD and a million-dollar lab. In 2024, it requires a laptop and a $5 AWS credit. Before, training a neural network was something only elite research labs with specialized hardware could accomplish. Now, anyone with curiosity and an internet connection can spin up AI models rivaling what Fortune 500 companies built just five years ago. That transformation was driven by Amazon Web Services (AWS) through three strategic waves of innovation: Compute Foundation, AI as a Service, and Generative Intelligence. The AWS AI Ripple. While most tech giants built AI for themselves, AWS built the [...]
