In this blog post you will learn how to deploy a Go Lambda function and trigger it in response to events sent to a topic in a MSK Serverless cluster. The following topics have been covered: How to use the franz-go Go Kafka client to connect to MSK Serverless using…

Learn with practical code examples — The DynamoDB Scan API accesses every items in a table (or secondary index). It is the equivalent of a select * from query. One of the things I will cover in this blog is how to use Scan API with the DynamoDB Go SDK. To scan a table, we need…

Learn with practical code samples — DynamoDB provides a rich set of data types, including Strings, Numbers, Sets, Lists, Maps etc. In the Go SDK for DynamoDB, the types package contains Go representations of these data types and the attributevalue module provides functions to work with Go and DynamoDB types. This blog post will demonstrate how…

In an earlier blog post you saw how to use cdk8s with AWS Controllers for Kubernetes (also known as ACK), thanks to the fact that you can import existing Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions using cdk8s! …

Deploy DynamoDB and a client app using cdk8s along with AWS Controller for Kubernetes — AWS Controllers for Kubernetes (also known as ACK) are built around the Kubernetes extension concepts of Custom Resource and Custom Resource Definitions. You can use ACK to define and use AWS services directly from Kubernetes. …

Redis related best practices, tips and tricks including cluster scalability, client side configuration, integration, metrics — Its hard to operate stateful distributed systems at scale and Redis is no exception. Managed databases make life easier by taking on much of the heavy lifting. But you still need a sound architecture and apply best practices both on the server (Redis) as well as client (application).

Using AWS Controller for Kubernetes and CDK for Kubernetes — In this blog post, you will learn how to use ACK with Amazon EKS for creating a Redis cluster on AWS (with Amazon MemoryDB). AWS Controllers for Kubernetes (also known as ACK) leverage Kubernetes Custom Resource and Custom Resource Definitions and give you the ability to manage and use AWS…

… and run benchmarks to test auto-scaling — Earlier, I covered how to build a Serverless URL shortener application on AWS using DynamoDB, AWS Lambda and API Gateway. Build a Serverless URL Shortener With Go Using AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, and API Gatewaybetterprogramming.pub In this blog post, we will deploy that as a REST API on AWS App Runner and continue to use DynamoDB as the database. AWS App Runner is a compute…

Build a WordPress deployment as a cdk8s construct — Constructs are the fundamental building block of cdk8s (Cloud Development Kit for Kubernetes) — an open-source framework (part of CNCF) with which you can define your Kubernetes applications using regular programming languages (instead of yaml). In Getting started with cdk8s, you saw how to use the core cdk8s library. You…
