Deploy AWS Lambda with Terraform without storing the Zip archive
Terraform is a great tool but managing AWS Lambda is arguably not one of its strength. In this post I'll describe one approach that I follow to work around this limitation.

Vue 3 is going to be released soon and I wanted to see how easy it is to create the simples possible useful application with it. It turns out it's pretty easy with vue-cli and serverless tools! Here I share my findings.
I love how Serverless enables simple solutions to common DevOps tasks: in this article I describe one simple way to automate MongoDB database backups using AWS Fargate, S3, and CDK.
A few days ago I forgot to renew one of my registered Internet domains which I believed was set to auto-renew and received a few alerts when affected services started to fail. I hence took the chance to setup a simple and free monitoring solution to avoid incurring again in this same problem once and for all. Powered by AWS CDK, Python and WhoisXML
I developed a simple JS audio player for a recording studio website and put it on GitHub. In this article I share my thoughts and findings.
Google's Lighthouse is a powerful free resource that helps developers build performant, accessible and SEO friendly websites. Here I show one way to make use of Lighthouse to add performance monitoring for web pages using Serverless components on AWS.
The technological side of Email has always occupied a bittersweet corner in my nerdy heart. In this article I dive a bit in the history of SMTP and share a simple but effective solution that I currently use to rationalise system and users' email delivery for a few of the Linux systems I manage.
In a previous article I described how to develop a serverless event-driven application to automate social media updates. Now I show how to make use of RSS/Atom Feed and AWS Lambda + CDK to add the missing bit and make it 100% automated.
Automate router WiFi bridge setup with Raspberry Pi, Node.js, Puppeteer and Ansible
For my reading habits in the recent years I've been using p2k.co service to send Pocket articles to my Kindle. I decided to fix some of p2k shortcomings replacing it with an event-driven serverless application built with AWS Lambda, Fargate and CDK
Moving from a previous CDK article I expand the publish-to-social code base to add a nice report functionality. In this article I show you how easy it is to introduce Lambda Destinations in your CDK project and make use of them for this particular use case. For the frontend part I use Svelte web framework to present the Lambda report JSON output as web page content.
With CDK is easy to organize AWS resources and share them between Stacks when needed. In this article I show you how I split an `api` Lambda in two, one for handling the API Gateway requests and the other for sending messages to an external notifications service.
In the previous article I introduced AWS Cloud Developer Kit and wondered if and how to make use of code abstractions when designing IaC. Today I show you one way to extend the previous codebase and deploy a typical event driven (pub-sub) serverless application built with Lambda and SNS.
After successfully replacing Terraform with CDK in a real life project I take the chance to wrap up the new knowledge along with some Terraform vs. CDK kind of considerations. I also synthesize the acquired know-how in a mini tutorial based on the actual code used in the production scenario.
For a while I wanted to manage my CV in a more flexible way. I stumbled upon a great article on CSS-Tricks that made me think I had no more excuses to procrastinate. In this article I present my solution along with some considerations.
A wrap up of my last 20 years as a professional in IT, along with some considerations about the current state of the art.
