Setting Up AWS EventBridge for Cross-Region IAM Event Notifications

Bill Junidez Liad2023-12-22T22:11:15+00:00

AWS EventBridge is a serverless event bus service that simplifies event-driven architectures. In this guide, we'll explore how to leverage EventBridge with a cross-region event bus to overcome the regional limitations associated with IAM (Identity and Access Management) events. This setup will enable you to capture and respond to IAM events seamlessly across AWS regions. Use Case: Cross-Region IAM Event Notifications with AWS EventBridge AWS CloudWatch Events are powerful, but they are region-specific, posing challenges when attempting to capture IAM events. It's essential to note that IAM is a global service, and the IAM events are only available in the [...]

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 [...]

Serverless Model Deployment in AWS: Streamlining with Lambda, Docker, and S3

John Patrick Laurel2023-11-30T06:08:01+00:00

Welcome back to our series on model deployment in AWS! In the fast-paced world of machine learning and data science, the ability to deploy models efficiently and reliably is crucial. This is where AWS services, with their vast array of tools and capabilities, come into play. In this second installment, we will delve into the potent combination of AWS Lambda and Docker, coupled with the convenience of storing models in S3. This trio offers a scalable, cost-effective, and streamlined solution for deploying machine learning models in a production environment. If you recall, in the first part of our series, we [...]

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

Iggy Yuson2023-10-27T05:39:10+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 [...]

Creating a Slack Notification for Redis Errors with Lambda Function and CloudWatch Logs Integration

Nikee Tomas2023-10-22T14:15:34+00:00

As more companies turn to cloud solutions, monitoring and notification systems for errors are becoming increasingly crucial. Redis, an open-source, fast, in-memory key-value data store, is now a widely used solution for databases, cache, message brokers, and queues. However, like any software, Redis may experience errors that require immediate attention. This article will guide you through setting up an automated Slack Notification using Lambda Function and CloudWatch Logs Integration to receive real-time alerts when Redis errors occur. Let's begin by configuring the CloudWatch agent to send Redis logs to CloudWatch Logs by running sudo vi /opt/aws/amazon-cloudwatch-agent/bin/config.json in SSH. Suppose you [...]
