In this blog post, I will introduce how to test AWS Lambda functions in Eclipse by using the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse. The AWS Toolkit for Eclipse Lambda Plugin provides a feature in which a JUnit test class is created automatically upon creation of a new AWS Lambda Java project. I will give you step-by-step instructions for creating […]

In parts 1 and 2 of this blog post, we saw how easy it is to get started on Java development for AWS Lambda, and use a microservices architecture to quickly iterate on an AuthenticateUser call that integrates with Amazon Cognito. We set up the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse, used the wizard to create a […]

In part 1 of this blog post, we showed you how to leverage the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse to quickly develop Java functions for AWS Lambda. We then set up a skeleton project and the structure to handle custom objects sent to your Java function. In part 2 of this blog post, we will implement […]

Most of us are aware of the support for a developer authentication backend in Amazon Cognito and how one can use a custom backend service to authenticate and authorize users to access AWS resources using temporary credentials. In this blog, we will create a quick serverless backend authentication API written in Java and deployed on […]

Earlier this month, we launched AWS CodeCommit — a managed revision control service that hosts Git repositories and works with existing Git-based tools. If you’re an Eclipse user, it’s easy to use the EGit tools in Eclipse to work with AWS CodeCommit. This post shows how to publish a project to AWS CodeCommit so you […]

Today, we are introducing a new addition to the AWS toolkit for Eclipse — the AWS OpsWorks plugin. This new plugin allows you to easily deploy your Java web applications from your development environment directly to AWS infrastructures. So you might remember the AWS CodeDeploy plugin that we introduced recently, and some of you have […]

In this part of the series, we will show you how easy it is to run deployment commands on your EC2 fleet with the help of the AWS CodeDeploy plugin for Eclipse. Create AppSpec Template First, let’s create a shell script that executes the command we need to run on our instances: /home/hanshuo/stop-httpd-server-appspec/template/stop-httpd.sh #!/bin/bash service […]

In this part of the blog series, we will show you how to deploy a Java web project to your EC2 instances using the AWS CodeDeploy plugin. Prerequisites If you want to follow the walkthrough, you will need to create a CodeDeploy deployment group to begin with. The easiest way to do so is to […]

We are excited to announce that the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse now includes integration with AWS CodeDeploy and AWS OpsWorks. In addition to the support of AWS Elastic Beanstalk deployment, these two new plugins provide more options for Java developers to deploy their web application to AWS directly from their Eclipse development environment. In this […]

We’ve talked in the past about the importance of secure credentials management. When your application is running in production, IAM roles for Amazon EC2 are a great way to securely deliver AWS credentials to your application. However, they’re by definition available only when your application is running on EC2 instances. If you’re a developer making […]
