  • Using AWS Step Functions to mitigate code liability

    calendar Dec 12, 2022 · 16 min read  ·
    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    Code is a liability. That’s not only the code you write but also (and predominantly!) the code that you need to operationalize for your own business logic to work. In this blog post I would like to demonstrate how it is possible to reduce, for relatively simple use cases, that liability by many orders of magnitude. …

  • Updating the Yelb Ruby Lambda functions and the S3 static website template

    calendar Dec 12, 2022 · 7 min read  ·
    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    Yelb is the demo application I use to experiment with and learn technologies. A few years ago I have refactored the yelb-appserver component to work with Lambda and the yelb-ui component to be hosted on S3. At the time of this writing, this folder in the Yelb repository describes the architecture for this deployment …

  • Submitting an AWS Batch job from AWS API Gateway

    I have lately invested a lot of time keeping an eye on StackOverflow because there is a ton to learn in terms of how AWS customers are using our products. I do have all sort of filters setup and I reguarly spend a good chunk of my day there. A couple of days ago I bumped into this question that intrigued me a lot. …

  • Running the stock NGINX container image with AWS Lambda

    calendar Nov 6, 2021 · 8 min read  ·
    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    Part of my job at AWS is to explore the art of possible. A few weeks ago I came across an open source project called re:Web. What intrigued me about re:Web is that it allows a traditional container image (wrapping a traditional “web service” application) to be repurposed and deployed to AWS Lambda. The idea for this …

  • My first CDK experience under the hood

    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    A few weeks ago I have published an AWS Fargate related project in GitHub called Fargatecount. I won’t bore you with the details of what it does (you can read it on the repository). In a nutshell, it runs a container as a scheduled Fargate task that in turn runs a script that queries ECS and EKS to collect the number …

  • Securing credentials using AWS Secrets Manager with AWS Fargate

    This article was originally posted on the AWS compute blog. I am re-posting here for the convenience of the readers of my personal blog. Cloud security at AWS is the highest priority and the work that the Containers team is doing is a testament to that. A month ago, the team introduced an integration between AWS …

  • Deployment pipeline of a containerized application using AWS services

    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    A few days ago, at Incontro DevOps Italia (IDI) 2019 I did a breakout session about the topic in subject. I decided to use the 30-ish minutes I had available to share a bit of context re the need for deployment automation and then I did a short demo (well, as short as a CI/CD demo could be) that was aimed at showing …

  • Moving to a new role at AWS

    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    At Amazon we work backwards from customer needs and this is embodied in everything we do. When we release a new product or service we start from the “press release and FAQ” and work backwards from there to develop what we intend to build for our customers. I am sketching this post in early December (2018) on a train …

  • Compute abstractions on AWS

    calendar Jun 12, 2018 · 12 min read  ·
    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    When I joined AWS last year, I was trying to find a way to explain, in the easiest way possible, all the options the platform offers to our users from a compute perspective. There are of course many ways to peal this onion and I wanted to create a “visual story” that was easy for me to tell. I ended up drafting an …

  • My first 6 months at AWS

    calendar May 8, 2018 · 8 min read  ·
    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    As you may have heard, late last year I joined Amazon Web Services. I have recently turned 6 months at AWS (or 180 x Day1) and that is often a good point to pause and reflect. Also, I have got so many people asking me how I am doing here that I thought a public blog post would scale better than many 1:1 interactions. …
