  • Building out a reusable Terraform framework for Flask Applications

    I find myself utilizing the same architecture for deploying demo applications on the great Python library Flask. I’ve been using the same Terraform files over and over again to build out the infrastructure. Last weekend I decided it was time to build a reusable framework for deploying these applications. So, I began building out the…

  • Create an Image Labeling Application using Artificial Intelligence

    I have a PowerPoint party to go to soon. Yes you read that right. At this party everyone is required to present a short presentation about any topic they want. Last year I made a really cute presentation about a day in the life of my dog. This year I have decided that I want…

  • Converting DrawIO Diagrams to Terraform

    I’m going to start this post of by saying that I need testers. People to test this process from an interface perspective as well as a data perspective. I’m limited on the amount of test data that I have to put through the process. With that said, I spent my Thanksgiving Holiday writing code, building…

  • API For Pre-signed URLs

    Pre-signed URL’s are used for downloading objects from AWS S3 buckets. I’ve used them many times in the past for various reasons but this idea was a new one. A proof of concept for an API that would create the pre-signed URL and return it to the user. This solution utilizes an API Gateway and…

  • 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…

  • 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…
