In this post, I’ll guide you through deploying AWS AppConfig configurations using the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) and the new AppConfig L2 constructs (higher abstraction). We will deploy a JSON configuration for feature flags’ usage for serverless and non-serverless applications alike with Python CDK code.

Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) is a powerful service designed to manage the messaging needs of robust, decoupled microservices. It strongly integrates with AWS Lambda, its native partner, as a target destination. SQS can trigger a Lambda function as its target and send the batch items as input. However, on…

The Python Cookiecutter library revolutionizes project development by offering streamlined approach to creating template projects and improving developer experience. cookiecutter allows developers to quickly scaffold their projects with pre-defined structures, configurations, and best practices. By abstracting away the intricacies of environment setup, cookiecutter enables developers to dive straight into coding…

Last week, we had a family lunch to celebrate the Jewish holiday ‘Shavuot’ (Feast of weeks). After the lunch, my mom asked me casually to “help my grandmother with that ‘GPT’ thingie”, as she fondly calls it. It turns out that my grandmother wanted ChatGPT to help her do some…

Scheduled tasks automate routine and repetitive tasks and reduce the risk of human error. They ensure that essential tasks occur on time, thus improving productivity and efficiency. In the Serverless domain, we have a couple of ways to implement them. This blog post will teach you to leverage Amazon EventBridge…

What makes an AWS Lambda handler resilient, traceable, and easy to maintain? How do you write such a code? In this blog series, I’ll attempt to answer these questions by sharing my knowledge and AWS Lambda best practices, so you won’t make the mistakes I once did. This blog series…
