I’m a regular Cronometer user and as usual, I was interested in exploring the API driving the app – authentication, request patterns, the typical curiosity that drives my posts.

In my previous post, I walked through building pyodbc for Python 3.9 Lambda functions.

With cloud infrastructure costs increasingly a focus, many organizations are scrutinizing AWS bills for potential savings.

This will be a short, but hopefully useful post for anyone trying to keep Lambda functions warm when using them in AWS Step Functions.

Professional photographers often add watermarks to their images to make them easy to identify, indicate copyright, promote their brand, among other reasons.

AWS Application Loan Balancers support what I think is an underappreciated feature: the ability to authenticate requests (via OIDC) at Layer 7.

As I discussed in a previous post, connecting to MSSQL with Python in Lambda can be tricky.

I always run with my phone on me, so accessing my home afterward has been convenient since installing MyQ W-Fi connected garage doors several years ago.

Getting Python to connect to MSSQL in Lambda isn’t as simple as installing other dependencies via pip.

When my wife and I were expecting our first child, a good baby monitor was one of the top items on our shopping list.
