I am working on a Amazon Chime application that provides natural language and GenAI features to a legacy phone system. After deploying the app into a new account, I got the following error in my SMA Lambda Handler when trying to invoke the Amazon Lex bot:
I really like the declarative nature of CloudFormation - you describe an end-state, and it computes the diffs. CDK gives me even more flexibility in creating complex apps. Recently I built a CDK web a
The AWS Athena connector for DynamoDB enables you to query data stored in Amazon DynamoDB using Amazon Athena, which is typically used to query structured data in S3 using standard SQL. Since DynamoDB
We maintain a CloudFormation custom resource provider for Amazon Connect. The provider has grown organically, and as new features were added, the default role policy has become large. The provider can
I while ago I optimized my Screen Saver Gallery API by loading a flat data file into lambda memory. A nightly job selects a random subset of the database and stores it in S3, and the API uses that fil
I use this bash loop to package an AWS SAM template to multiple regions. This script stages the CloudFormation template and assets in a regional bucket. You can share the bucket with other accounts vi

I recently converted a large CDK app to use CDK Pipelines. I LOVE how quickly it was to get working but it generated a UGLY and SLOW pipeline.
To make prebuilt SPA installers with CDK I like to keep environment configuration outside of the minified code via a config.json file. This allows me to build the app once and move it between environments and stages.
