AWS certification
I just passed the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate exam! SAA-C03. I am very happy with that, I will share some tips and tricks that helped me to succeed in this journey.
AWS lambda and layers
How to add a layer made with numpy and pandas and allow your lambda to call it. Create a package #!/bin/bash # 🔧 Configurable variables LAYER_NAME=”pandas-layer” PYTHON_VERSION=”3.10″ PACKAGE_DIR=”python” ZIP_NAME=”${LAYER_NAME}.zip” mkdir -p $PACKAGE_DIR python$PYTHON_VERSION -m pip install pandas numpy -t $PACKAGE_DIR echo ” Creating zip file…” zip -r $ZIP_NAME $PACKAGE_DIR echo ” Layer package created: $ZIP_NAME” Add this package to your lambda layer Create a lambda…
Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture
This book was very comprehensive, but it is now outdated. Some concepts are still interesting, but they are now better developed elsewhere, such as in Designing Data-Intensive Applications , while others have become obsolete. This reminds us that no matter the value of a book or its author, technology evolves so fast that 20 years feels…
Designing Data-Intensive Applications
I learnt a lot of things and I took a lot of notes so I thing it is a very useful book. It covers a lot of topics about data format, transactions and it explains everything with details.
Architecture Decision Records
My reference for this article is this book: Fundamentals of Software Architecture: An Engineering Approach To summarize, an ADR consists mainly of five entries: title status: Proposed, Accepted, Superseded (by …) context decision consequences which is quite simple. I find that the tools suggested in the book are not very practical: either command line or…
C4
Let’s talk today about C4 in action, the framework that allows you to diagram architectures. We use it to diagram system with a hierarchy of four levels of description: C1: Context C2: Containers C3: Components C4: Code To clarify, C4 diagrams are not commonly created in most cases.. too heavy and useless. Here, we want…
S3 and Lambda
Today, a small use case: A user uploads a file to an S3 bucket, triggering an event that launches a Python Lambda function. This Lambda function makes some minor modifications to the file, creates a new version, and stores it in another bucket. The entire setup was implemented using Terraform. Python file import…
Mastering API architecture
The book covers the following phases: design, building, and testing, traffic management with API gateways and service meshes, followed by deployment and security how to make the architecture scalable. I really appreciated the section on API gateways and service meshes, which I found very well explained. This book is an excellent approach to…
Software Architecture in Practise : 4th edition
The book covers all areas of architecture, opening a door to quantum computing in this 4th edition. I imagine this is meant to give the work a more contemporary touch, but I find its format rather tedious. Despite the title, it really lacks a practical aspect—there are open doors, but little substance, in my opinion….
