During a conversation with a close friend in Australia, I was inspired by the idea of using a lightweight framework like Flask to build a cloud application. Thanks @terryduong for the inspiration and support for this project. Check out my project on GitHub Stage 0: Game plan I split this project into five stages. Stage 1: Creating the app Stage 2: Host locally Stage 3: Hosting on AWS using Console Stage 4: Hosting on AWS using Terraform Stage 5: Automate the deployment using Terraform and Github Actions A Reference List at the end of this page includes all the documents I consulted throughout this project....

Intro: Recently, I explored a simple yet powerful way to achieve image processing using AWS Lambda and AWS Rekognition. With Machine Learning on the rise, I think it would be a cool project for me to get my hands on this topic. In this post, I’ll walk through a scalable and cost-effective approach: using AWS Lambda to process images stored in an S3 bucket, analyze their content with Rekognition to identify objects, faces, or text, and then store the extracted metadata in another S3 bucket for further use....

Check out my project on GitHub The Goal: The idea is to use Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to quickly spin up a simple yet secure virtual network on AWS. Terraform CLI is my tool of choice for managing it all, so I can automate the setup and ensure everything stays organized and reproducible. What’s Inside the Infrastructure: A VPC in the us-west-1 region with a CIDR block of 10.0.0.0/16—this is the foundation of the network....

Hey there! Welcome to my tech blog. I’m excited to share a little project: automating Shopify orders data into a database warehouse and setting up the connection for analysis. I wanted a simple way to fetch data and get real-time insights without all the manual effort. So, I set up AWS Event Scheduler to trigger data retrieval, used AWS Lambda for serverless processing, and chose DynamoDB for storage. To connect DynamoDB to Microsoft Power BI, I used CDATA Universal Software to create an ODBC driver....

Welcome to my tech blog! Today, I’m excited to take you on my cloud journey with a project which I was inspired from real-world challenge: integrating SMS notifications into a software that had numerous restrictions. I needed a solution to notify users whenever the database was updated. Instead of wrestling with the software’s limitations, I decided to create a microservice that could handle SMS notifications independently. This way, the software team can invoke an API to send SMS messages without worrying about the underlying code and integration complexities....
