I'm beyond excited to announce the release of my second book, Serverless Apps on Cloudflare! 📚 For several years, I've been building applications on Cloudflare's modern and innovative cloud developer platform. I was blown away by how simple and quick it was to develop applications, alongside how intuitive it all felt. This book is a culmination of those years learning the platform, distilled into easily-digestible chapters covering the core aspects of the platform. You'll learn everything from building an API and full-stack applications, to databases, caches, using AI, queues and so much more. By the end, you'll have a solid foundation that will allow you to build all kinds of applications with Cloudflare. The Cloudflare dev team has been adding new products and features at a rapid rate, with all the key ingredients needed for almost any application. It's all serverless, so you pay for what you use, with no servers or instances to maintain. It really comes into its own with how it all integrates together. Do you want to connect your compute to your database? It's a few lines of configuration, and your code is injected with what it needs at runtime by Cloudflare, with no need to maintain any sensitive credentials. In my opinion, this is what the likes of AWS, Azure and GCP wish their platforms were like. Sure, they are more vast in the products they offer, but Cloudflare likely has all the essential products and features you need to build great products and services without all the hassle and complexity. If you're interested in giving Cloudflare a try, and want a helping hand on the key aspects of their developer platform, you can get your hands on the early release version of the book right now via The Pragmatic Programmers: https://lnkd.in/eV9fdWDJ #cloudflare #book #coding #programming #develop #AWS #azure #gcp #serverless #architecture #software

Excited to share my latest Medium blog post: 'Deploying Express Application in AWS using Serverless, A Beginners Guide'.

I recently had the opportunity to take the AWS for Frontend Engineers course provided by Frontend Masters, taught by Steve Kinney. In todays developer ecosystem, frontend developers have access to tools such as Vercel and Netlify to easily deploy web applications with a push of a button. These tools use cloud providers such as AWS under the hood, while at the same time abstracting away the complexities involved in deploying, hosting, and management. As a developer eager to expand my full stack skills, I took this course to better understand the technologies that underpin these high-level abstractions. This course walks through hosting a react application on AWS for global distribution, securing it with an SSL certificate, and creating an automated deployment process through continuous integration. Key topics included: - Setting up an AWS account, configuring billing alerts, and securing the root user account by creating an administrative user via IAM. - An overview of Amazon S3 and how it can be used for hosting and managing assets, introducing concepts such as bucket policies, versioning, and lifecycle management. - An overview of Amazon Route 53, and how to use it to set up a domain. - How to configure SSL certificates with Amazon Certificate Manager. - How to set up Amazon CloudFront for content delivery distributions, custom cache policies, content invalidations, and restricting public access on S3 buckets to ensure requests only come from CloudFront. - How to streamline deployment processes to S3 by integrating a continuous integration pipeline with GitHub Actions. - Overview of Lambda, Lamda@Edge, and CloudFront functions for serverless computing. Even though I have been familiar with these services provided by AWS at a high level, this course really helped my understanding in how all of these services can be combined together to create a fully functioning web application. I highly recommend any developer looking to expanding their full stack skills to take a look at this course, as well as the many other high-quality courses FrontendMasters provides. #aws #webdevelopment #fullstackdevelopment

Deploying Node.js Apps to AWS: A Comprehensive Guide

There are many ways to use containers on AWS. One approach that is on the low effort end of the scale is to use App Runner. Here Srinivasulu Paranduru shows how to get up and running quickly with it.

A lot of insightful things came out of this AWS for Front-End Engineers course by Frontend Masters. I now have a better overview of the many moving parts (S3, CloudFront, IAM, Lambda@Edge, etc.).

Celebrating day 14/100 of the #50daysofcodingchallenge! 🎉 Successfully implemented Multer with Express.js, elevating my app with robust file upload capabilities. Diving deep into backend development—each line of code feels like a step closer to mastery. Moreover, I explored the intricacies of AWS services today, where I meticulously configured and launched a dynamic static website. Leveraging the power of S3 buckets, I established a robust and publicly accessible platform. Witnessing firsthand the unparalleled versatility of AWS in project hosting is truly enlightening. This foray into cloud development marks another significant milestone in my coding journey. Excited about the endless possibilities ahead! #AWS #CloudDevelopment #S3Bucket #WebHosting #100DaysofCode #CodeProgress #ExpressJS #Multer #BackendDevelopment #CodingMilestone

Another step towards becoming a better developer. By taking this course, I've learned how to deploy a Django app to AWS using its entire 'ecosystem': EC2 or Fargate for deploying the backend, S3 + CloudFront for deploying the frontend, Route 53, ELB, RDS, ECR, SES, SQS, CI/CD in AWS - CodeCommit, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, CodePipeline.

🌟 My Learning Journey: Building a Web App on AWS 🌟 I’m excited to share what I’ve been working on! I’ve hosted a microservice React.js web app with the frontend in s3 Cloudfront with Amazon Certificate Manager for getting HTTPS, and for the backend using docker image pushed in AWS ECR and made it live using ECS (private subnet) with Application load balancer in (Public Subnet) and having autoscaling group (private subnet) for better scalability. I have six subnets where three public subnets have an Internet gateway attached using a route table and three private subnets that have a NAT Gateway also using a route table for Multiple Availability Zones. This project has been a great learning experience in cloud development, and I’m excited to keep growing! #AWS #CloudComputing #WebDevelopment #Microservices #DevOps #LearningInPublic

Unveiling my latest passion project - a Full-Stack React Application with AWS Backend Setup! 📝✨ In the realm of Full Stack Development and AWS, I found my inspiration to craft a tool that seamlessly marries the art of user experience with the robustness of serverless architecture. 🔐 User Authentication: AWS Cognito provides not just authentication but a trust foundation, ensuring users feel secure in every interaction. ✨ Create and Delete Notes: Beyond simplicity, the application offers a nuanced approach to note management, empowering users to organize their thoughts effortlessly. 🔄 GraphQL API Integration: AWS AppSync isn't just about data transfer; it's a symphony of efficiency, allowing the application to dynamically adapt to user needs with every interaction. 🖼️ Image Storage in Amazon S3: Unleashing the potential of Amazon S3 for image storage opens up a world of creative possibilities, making every note a visual journey. 🗄️ DynamoDB Backend: The backbone of this project lies in the reliability of DynamoDB, a serverless powerhouse that ensures seamless storage and retrieval of notes, adapting to the flow of user activity. 🌐 Hosted and Deployed with AWS Amplify: The project is successfully hosted and deployed using AWS Amplify, bringing it to life on the web! This project isn't just lines of code; it's a testament to my unwavering interest in Full Stack Development, AWS, and the limitless horizons of serverless architectures.
