Now that you know the basics about creating AWS Java web applications and deploying them using the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse, let’s talk about some of the ways you can control how your environment runs. AWS Elastic Beanstalk provides several easy ways to configure different features of your environment. The first mechanism we’ll look at […]

In this three part series, we’ll show how easy it is to deploy a Java web application to AWS Elastic Beanstalk using the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse. In part one of this series, we showed how to create an AWS Java Web Project and deploy it to a local Tomcat server. This is a great […]

We’ve just released a new version of the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse that adds support for managing your AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) resources directly from within Eclipse, and updates the Amazon DynamoDB Create Table Wizard in the toolkit to support creating tables with Local Secondary Indexes.

In this three part series, we’ll show how easy it is to deploy a Java web application to AWS Elastic Beanstalk using the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse. The first post in this series demonstrates how to create an AWS Java Web Project, and explains how that project interacts with the existing web development tools in […]

Over the past few months, we’ve talked about using the AWS SDK for Java to store and retrieve Java objects in Amazon DynamoDB. Our first post was about the basic features of the DynamoDBMapper framework, and then we zeroed in on the behavior of auto-paginated scan. Today we’re going to spend some time talking about […]

Wherever you or your customers are in the world, there are AWS data centers nearby. Each AWS region is a completely independent stack of services, totally isolated from other regions. You should always host your AWS application in the region nearest your customers. For example, if your customers are in Japan, running your website from […]

Jason and I are at EclipseCon in Boston this week to discuss what we’ve learned developing the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse over the last three years. Our session is chock full of advice for how to develop great Eclipse plug-ins, and offers a behind-the-scenes look at how we build the Toolkit. Here’s what we plan […]

If you’re just getting started with the AWS SDK for Java, a great way to learn the SDK is through the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse. In addition to all the tools in the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse for managing your AWS resources, deploying your applications, etc., there are also wizards for creating new AWS projects, […]

One of the great APIs inside the AWS SDK for Java is a class called TransferManager that makes working with uploads and downloads from Amazon S3 easy and convenient. TransferManager provides asynchronous management for uploads and downloads between your application and Amazon S3. You can easily check on the status of your transfers, add handlers […]

In addition to the standard, blocking/synchronous clients in the AWS SDK for Java that you’re probably already familiar with, the SDK also contains non-blocking/asynchronous clients that are just as easy to use, and often more convenient for certain types of applications. When you call an operation with one of the standard, synchronous clients in the […]
