The Discord Bot Framework
I’m happy to announce the release of my Discord Bot Framework. A tool that I’ve spent a considerable amount of time working on to help people build and deploy Discord Bots quickly within AWS. Let me first start off by saying I’ve never released a product. I’ve run a service business and I’m a consultant…
Product Name Detection with AWS Bedrock & Anthropic Claude
Well, my AWS bill me a bit larger than normal this month due to testing this script. I thoroughly enjoy utilizing Generative AI to do work for me and I had some spare time to tackle this problem this week. A client sent me a bunch of product images that were not named properly. All…
Streamline Your S3 Management: How to Count Small Files Locally with Python
I recently came across a need to count objects in an S3 bucket that were of particular size. There isn’t a native way to do this within the S3 console so I decided to script it out using Python and the AWS SDK. You can see all of the code on my GitHub. The script…
Securing AWS S3 Objects with Python: Implementing SSE-S3 Encryption
In the cloud-native world, data security is paramount, and securing Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 storage is a critical task for any developer. In this article, we dive into a Python script designed to ensure that all your S3 objects are encrypted using Server-Side Encryption with S3-Managed Keys (SSE-S3).

Building a Generative AI Workflow with AWS Bedrock
I’ve finally been tasked with a Generative AI project to work on. I’ve done this workflow manually with ChatGPT in the past and it works quite well but, for this project, the requirement was to use Amazon Web Services’ new product “AWS Bedrock”. The workflow takes in some code and writes a technical document to…
Automated Lambda Testing
Look, I know there are a bunch of test frameworks that you could use for your Lambda functions. But what if you wanted something simple? I spent an afternoon putting together what I would want in a testing pipeline that returns a simple “Success/Fail” type response to me via Email. An architecture diagram for your…
SES Monitoring
I love AWS. But one thing they don’t do is build complete tools. SES is one of them. I recently started getting emails about high usage for one of the identities that I have set up for SES. I would assume that there was a way to track usage within CloudWatch but for the life…
Building a Discord Bot with Python and AWS
I’m a member of a lot of Discord servers. The one I participate in most is one with my brothers and our friends. In this server, we joke around a lot about people posting off-topic messages in the various text channels and we give them fake “warnings”. I decided to take this a step further…
Deleting MANY Lambda Function Versions
I recently came across a challenge where I wanted to purge old Lambda Function versions. Some of the functions had over 65 versions! The code below will iterate through a text file with a Lambda function defined on each line. It will get a list of all the versions and delete any version that is…
Moving AWS Cloudfront Logs to DynamoDB
I think its pretty obvious that I love DynamoDB. It has become one of my favorite AWS Services and I use it almost every day at work and am getting better at using it for my personal projects as well. I had a client approach me about getting logs from a Cloudfront Distribution. Cloudfront has…
