Everything I learned using AWS and Terraform

2025-10-03T13:22:32+00:00

In this article, I will walk you through what I have learned while developing a system in AWS using Terraform. For context, I created this project as a requirement for my previous internship. I will provide the GitHub repository for the requirements, architecture, and execution steps. This project implements a highly scalable and available web application adhering to the best practices regarding availability, scalability, and reliability. I have developed this project for nearly four weeks, enhancing my skills in Cloud, Infrastructure as code, and engineering altogether, and here are some of the lessons I have learned and applied during the [...]

No Comment: How Technical Documentation Helps your Team

2025-09-05T05:51:04+00:00

It’s easy to get lost specially, in a big project. However, believe it or not, even in small projects or personal passion projects, it’s still easy to get lost because of your own wrongdoing, not documenting properly. As a beginner, or even “experienced,” it’s a hassle having to put comments and document every changes you made to your code, because we always think that our memory will suffice, which is not always the case. If we’re working with a team, many changes are all happening at once, which will make it hard for you to catch up and keep track [...]

Effectively Set-Up Your Virtual Private Cloud using CloudFormation

2025-07-16T14:28:36+00:00

Hello Dojos! We're back again for another Infrastructure as Code article, focusing on AWS Native Infrastructure as Code Service, CloudFormation In my previous article, we explored the benefits of using Infrastructure as Code to ramp up your production by showing how easy it is to launch an EC2 Instance using Terraform. For this article, we will explore AWS CloudFormation and try to deploy our very own Virtual Private Cloud. Using Terraform and CloudFormation offers their benefits and advantages, which we won't tackle right now. Nevertheless, they offer the same purpose: to make provisioning much faster and reduce the risk of [...]

Automate CloudFront Invalidation via Slack

2024-10-25T10:03:51+00:00

In today's digital age where most people are using gadgets, we're likely familiar with the term "cache". Most of us first hear about cache when looking to free up storage or improve performance on our mobile devices especially for android users. If we look at our device's settings then navigate to the storage of an application, we will see two options: one is to delete the app entirely, and the other one is to clear its cache. Of course if you're still using your application, you'll click the second option. And after it, voila! Your application seems to run smoother. [...]

Mastering AWS CDK Part 1: Using Built-In Constructs for Serverless APIs

2023-10-27T05:39:10+00:00

In the realm of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) within AWS, CloudFormation stands out as the foundational service. Many other IaC solutions, whether it's the Serverless Framework, AWS SAM, or even Terraform, ultimately get translated into CloudFormation. Additionally, the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) has emerged as a distinct player in this space. What sets AWS CDK apart is its embrace of familiar programming languages. Instead of relying on YAML or proprietary syntax, with AWS CDK, developers can define infrastructure using languages like Python, Javascript, Typescript, Java, C#, and Go. This familiarity accelerates the adoption curve, enabling developers to direct their [...]

Different Ways of Passing Parameters Securely in CloudFormation

2023-04-27T12:27:15+00:00

Introduction When writing CloudFormation templates, it's a security best practice to avoid hardcoding sensitive info, like client secrets, API keys, or passwords. Sharing templates with hardcoded details by mistake can put your infrastructure and data at risk. In this article, we'll explore different secure methods to pass parameters in CloudFormation templates. Using the NoEcho Attribute To avoid hardcoding parameters in your template, you can define them during stack creation using the Parameters section. However, these values will still be visible in plaintext in the Console. To mask critical data, consider using the NoEcho attribute. The NoEcho attribute offers a simple [...]

How to Create Wait Conditions in a CloudFormation Template

2023-05-02T03:41:59+00:00

Wait Conditions, as the name suggests, is a tool used to control the order of creation of the AWS resources in a CloudFormation stack. It can pause the creation of a stack and wait for a signal to ensure that specific resources and configurations were properly launched before resuming the stack creation process. Use cases: For example, you want to make sure that a specific domain name is working before you can conclude that your application is indeed up and running. Or perhaps, you want to make sure that a particular stack resource can access an external API endpoint (or [...]
