Deploy Amazon ElastiCache for Redis clusters using AWS CDK and TypeScript
In this post, we show you all the prerequisites and steps to deploy an Amazon ElastiCache cluster using AWS CDK and TypeScript. We also show you how to deploy resources using Amazon ElastiCache for Redis Serverless.
Implement a CI/CD pipeline for Ethereum smart contract development on AWS – Part 1
Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) is a process that automates software development workflows and deploys better quality software that avoids bugs and code failure. CI/CD removes the manual human intervention that was traditionally needed to get code changes from development environments to production servers. With a CI/CD pipeline, code changes are automatically detected, built, […]
Use point-in-time recovery to restore an Amazon DynamoDB table managed by AWS CDK
Point-in-time recovery (PITR) in Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed capability that creates continuous backups of your DynamoDB table data. Continuous backups are important to ensure business continuity and compliance with regulations, and to protect against human errors, such as unintended writes or deletes. When PITR is enabled for a DynamoDB table, DynamoDB automatically backs […]
Deploy Amazon ElastiCache for Redis using AWS CDK
Need for Speed—No, it’s not the video game, but rather a critical requirement for the success of your website in this competitive world. Although we might think that subsecond delay is acceptable, the New York Times noted in For Impatient Web Users, an Eye Blink Is Just Too Long to Wait that humans can notice […]
Deploy a containerized application with Amazon ECS and connect to Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) securely
Deploying containerized applications with cloud database services can involve many manual steps, such as configuring networks and securing database connections from the applications. To simplify development and deployment, you can use infrastructure as code (IaC) to build, configure, deploy, and scale containerized applications automatically. In this post, I show you how to use IaC concepts […]
Automate Ethereum node validator deployment on Amazon EC2 using AWS CDK
Ethereum is a decentralized, open-source blockchain with smart contract functionality. The Beacon chain (ETH2) is an upgrade to Ethereum that introduced a proof-of-stake concept to the Ethereum ecosystem. Staking in ETH2 is done by validators who perform actions such as attestations and block proposal activities to improve the Ethereum network’s security and scalability. Validators in […]
Accelerate data migration using AWS DMS and AWS CDK
Deploying and configuring AWS Data Migration Service (AWS DMS) across multiple environments involves several configurations, testing, and provisioning of AWS DMS resources. This can be time-consuming and error-prone due to the large number of settings involved. The AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) lets you define your cloud infrastructure as code in one of five […]
