qTweet is a dead simple AWS SQS to Twitter serverless speaker :speaker:. Publish message :love_letter: to SQS (FIFO), Lambda function will handle publishing it to Twitter. Automagically. :tada: To be honest, my plan is to automate the tweet of certain information using this queue in multiple side projects. As usual, I’m sharing this with you folks as I was not able to find equivalent in Github / Open source projects. I hope it could be useful to someone else. ...
Canary What ? In software testing, a canary (also called a canary test) is a push of programming code changes to a small number of end-users who have not volunteered to test anything. The goal of a canary test is to make sure code changes are transparent and work in a real-world environment. Canary tests, which are often automated, are run after testing in a sandbox environment has been completed. Because the canary is only pushed to a small number of users, its impact is relatively small should the new code prove to be buggy and changes can be reversed quickly. ...

This decision came to me after a few deceptions from my past experiences as a traditional employee/consultant, and I was thinking about this switch for several years now.

I was wondering if I could schedule simple bash scripts using AWS Fargate for some trivial batches operations. To be completely honest, It is also an excuse to learn more about AWS Fargate, and to convert a legacy bash script based on EC2 Spot instance to a container world. In this post, we will see how to schedule a bash script job once a day. To do so, we will deploy the corresponding AWS infrastructure (even if it’s serverless, yes :wink:) using Terraform. ...
