Blogs
I write a blog on Medium, focusing primarily on technical content. My articles delve into topics such as DevOps and architecting infrastructure. Through my writing, I aim to share insights and practical knowledge, helping readers understand complex concepts and implement best practices in their own projects. Whether discussing automation, cloud solutions, or system design, my goal is to provide valuable, actionable information to the tech community.
Build a Portfolio Website Using AWS Serverless
Building a portfolio website using AWS serverless services is a powerful way to ensure scalability, reliability, and cost-efficiency. In this blog, we’ll walk through setting up a React application hosted on AWS, using various AWS services to create a robust, full-stack application. We’ll cover everything from hosting the static site to handling contact form submissions, setting up a custom domain, and ensuring our API is secure and scalable.
How We Moved Towards Serverless Architecture
The scalability, flexibility and reduced cost promised by serverless architecture resulted in a massive growth rate of 75% compared to other AWS cloud services. That was compelling enough for us to get our feet into the Serverless computing. It’s not a magic bullet for everything but there are certain use cases where it outperforms other cloud services.
Managing Multiple Environments On AWS
Managing multiple environments and defining access policies are really important. Access can be easily managed via separating the AWS account for each environment. This environment needs to be identical to infrastructure architecture. And need to follow the gitops. Thanks to tools like terraform which manages the infrastructure in code and leverages the power of git to make infrastructure changes more agile.
