Understanding the IAM:PassRole Permission

2023-08-24T02:44:43+00:00

Introduction Many AWS services often require the use of an IAM role to execute actions on your behalf. For example, when you create a Lambda function, you assign an execution role to it. AWS can generate one for you automatically, and then you define the permissions you want it to have after. Most of the time, that's the case. However, there are instances when you might choose to associate an existing IAM role. In practice, we often concentrate on which permissions a user is allowed to perform and which are off-limits. But what's often overlooked are the IAM roles a [...]

2023-04-26T07:40:26+00:00

If you use Discord, Slack, or Telegram, you're probably familiar with those long and complicated invite links used to join servers or channels. These links can be difficult to remember and may even discourage some people from joining. With URL redirection, you can create a custom and easy-to-remember domain name for your invite links. For example, you might use a domain like "discord.mycoolsite.com" that redirects to the invitation page of your Discord server, which might look something like this: "discord.com/invite/aabbCCDD". Inviting people thru a custom domain can reinforce your brand and make it easier for others to share and join [...]

Build Your Own Slack Commands with Lambda Function URL

2023-04-27T03:33:47+00:00

What are Lambda Function URLs? In the past, calling a Lambda function over HTTP required a lot of setup and configuration with API Gateway. The process of setting up API resources and methods, and linking them to the appropriate Lambda function, can be overwhelming, especially for developers who are new to it. With the function URL feature of the AWS Lambda service, you can create a secure HTTPS endpoint dedicated to a Lambda function. This means that instead of using an intermediary service (like Amazon API Gateway), you can directly invoke your function by simply sending an HTTP request to [...]
