AWS CloudFormation is a service that allows you to define, manage, and provision your AWS cloud infrastructure using code. To enhance this process and ensure your infrastructure meets your organization’s standards, AWS offers CloudFormation Hooks. These Hooks are extension points that allow you to invoke custom logic at specific points during CloudFormation stack operations, enabling […]

AWS Lambda recently announced a new code editor based on Code-OSS. Like the previous version, the new editor includes Amazon Q Developer. Amazon Q Developer is a generative AI-powered assistant for software development that can help you build and debug Lambda functions more quickly. In this post, I provide an overview of Amazon Q Developer’s […]

Refactor serverless apps by swapping application code with cloud automation: reduce costs, decouple logic from architecture, and leverage managed services’ native capabilities.

Introduction Today customers want to reduce manual operations for deploying and maintaining their infrastructure. The recommended method to deploy and manage infrastructure on AWS is to follow Infrastructure-As-Code (IaC) model using tools like AWS CloudFormation, AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) or Terraform. One of the critical components in terraform is managing the state file which […]

Introduction The Rust programming language was created by Mozilla Research in 2010 to be “a programming language empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient(fast) software”[1]. If you are a beginner level SDE or DevOps engineer or decision maker in your organization looking to adopt Rust for your specific use, you will find this blog helpful […]

Traditionally, customers have used role-based access control (RBAC) to manage entitlements within their applications. The application controls what users can do, based on the roles they are assigned. But, the drive for least privilege has led to an exponential growth in the number of roles. Customers can address this role explosion by moving authorization logic […]

Terraform by HashiCorp is one of the most popular infrastructure-as-code (IaC) platforms. AWS Step Functions is a visual workflow service that helps developers use AWS services to build distributed applications, automate processes, orchestrate microservices, and create data and machine learning (ML) pipelines. In this blog, we showcase best practices for users leveraging Terraform to deploy […]

The AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) is a popular open source toolkit that allows developers to create their cloud infrastructure using high level programming languages. AWS CDK comes bundled with a construct called CDK Pipelines that makes it easy to set up continuous integration, delivery, and deployment with AWS CodePipeline. The CDK Pipelines construct […]

Amazon CodeWhisperer is a powerful generative AI tool that gives me coding superpowers. Ever since I have incorporated CodeWhisperer into my workflow, I have become faster, smarter, and even more delighted when building applications. However, learning to use any generative AI tool effectively requires a beginner’s mindset and a willingness to embrace new ways of […]

The AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) is an open-source software development framework to define cloud infrastructure in familiar programming languages and provision it through AWS CloudFormation. In this blog post, we will explore the process of creating a Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline for a .NET AWS Lambda function using the CDK Pipelines. We […]
