It's been a few weeks since I last wrote an article on using Rust with AWS.

Day 4 of AWS re:Invent 2023 has come to a close and it was just as epic as the other nights.

AWS re:Invent 2023 Day 2 recap covers the Adam Selipsky keynote, announcements like Amazon Q and S3 Express One Zone, and community networking.

Amid everything going on, I stayed up after Day 2 of re:Invent to get my hands on the new Amazon S Q Digital Assistant.

AWS re:Invent 2023 Day 1 recap covers a DynamoDB modeling session, the Healthcare and Life Sciences Executive Symposium, and Monday Night Live.

AWS re:Invent 2023 Day 0 recap covering the community hike at Valley of Fire, meeting builders in person, and kicking off the conference week.

I've had a few people ask me about my writing process and how I produced the articles and code that I do here on my blog.

I've been working recently with some data that doesn't naturally fit into my AWS HealthLake datastore.

I've been trying to learn Rust for the better part of this year.

Some find that handling bad news as a leader is tricky.

DynamoDB incremental exports can be orchestrated with Step Functions using native SDK integrations, eliminating the need for Lambda compute code.

Building trust in technology teams starts with adding value, listening before speaking, giving your time selflessly, and showing up when it matters.

A good friend of mine is working on a really neat redrive tool with SQS and wanted to write an article to describe its purpose and use.

Influence.

First off, this post is not affiliated with AWS or the re:Invent conference.

Event-Driven architecture paired with Serverless technologies are a powerful combo to build applications.

I've written a few articles lately on EventBridge Pipes and specifically around using them with DynamoDB Streams.

DynamoDB Streams enrichment with EventBridge Pipes transforms domain data into FHIR healthcare resources using serverless filtering and Lambda.

In my previous article I wrote about a Callback Pattern with AWS Step Functions built upon the backbone of HealthLake's export.

Some operations in a system function asynchronously.

Building Serverless applications can feel a bit overwhelming when you are first getting started.

Serverless security on AWS broken down into three pillars: API Gateway custom authorizers, least-privilege IAM policies, and KMS data encryption.

API Gateway for serverless apps explored through resources, method requests, integration types, models, custom domains, and base path mapping.

Serverless event handling on AWS explained through SQS, Kinesis, SNS, and EventBridge with guidance on when to use each service in your design.

Building Serverless applications can feel a bit overwhelming when you are first getting started.

Serverless data storage on AWS compared across DynamoDB, RDS, S3, OpenSearch, Timestream, and HealthLake with guidance on choosing the right fit.

Up until last week, when you deployed a new version of your State Machine in AWS Step Functions, the old version was gone and the ability to test or rollback was limited by your ability to re-push a p

Lambda extensions built with Golang enable cross-language reuse by running a sidecar HTTP API for caching with Momento and DynamoDB read-through.

SQS dead-letter-queue re-drive automated with Golang Lambda functions and Step Functions provides self-healing workflows for event-driven systems.

Infrastructure as Code shifts deployment ownership to development teams, building a culture of accountability, customer focus, and faster response.

Caching.

I've been following along the past couple of weeks in the "wake" of the article by the Prime Video Team.

Golang private modules in AWS CodeBuild require specific configuration with .netrc files and GOPRIVATE variables in your CDK CodePipeline setup.

One of the nice things about building with Serverless is that you can design things in a way that the pieces are composeable.

Golang Lambda functions with CDK explored through entry points, runtime selection, environment variables, and linker flags to reduce binary size.

So you've decided to build your first or your 500th Lambda function with AWS.

If you've been following along for a bit, you know how much of a fan of Serverless I am.

I've been working a good bit lately to push testing down when using Step Functions and building some patterns with AWS State Machines Locally.

There is so much buzz in the Serverless world about scalability, reliability, and nano-sized functions with the ability to generate faster speeds to market.

Cross-Origin Resource Sharing is a topic that most developers don't generally like to talk about it.

Follow me along on a journey toward data unification.

EventBus Mesh pattern connects multiple EventBridge buses to isolate microservice boundaries while enabling cross-domain event-driven communication.

I've been thinking and working hard on how I can start to introduce EventBridge and Pipes into some of my existing applications.

In life, when working on anything, small and iterative changes give us the best opportunity for feedback and learning.
