AWS Summit London 2022 day recap

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on dev.to

Our great sponsors
  • Appwrite - The Open Source Firebase alternative introduces iOS support
  • Klotho - AWS Cloud-aware infrastructure-from-code toolbox [NEW]
  • Sonar - Write Clean JavaScript Code. Always.
  • ONLYOFFICE ONLYOFFICE Docs — document collaboration in your environment
  • InfluxDB - Access the most powerful time series database as a service
  • terraform

    Terraform enables you to safely and predictably create, change, and improve infrastructure. It is an open source tool that codifies APIs into declarative configuration files that can be shared amongst team members, treated as code, edited, reviewed, and versioned.

    Implementing Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) using the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) to model your infrastructure seems like a very good option for those like me that are still not much versed on CloudFormation (which the CDK uses under the hood) or Terraform. Watching the live demo expressing some sample infrastructure with just a few lines of Python code was great fun, and I'd love to try that out.

  • elasticsearch-mapper-attachments

    Mapper Attachments Type plugin for Elasticsearch

    And away from the AWS world, it was also good luck and great timing that I had the chance to catch up with the folks of Elastic on their stand and ask them some few questions I had on my mind around the current Elasticsearch work we have going on, which was quite helpful.

  • Appwrite

    Appwrite - The Open Source Firebase alternative introduces iOS support . Appwrite is an open source backend server that helps you build native iOS applications much faster with realtime APIs for authentication, databases, files storage, cloud functions and much more!

  • nodejs-bigquery

    Node.js client for Google Cloud BigQuery: A fast, economical and fully-managed enterprise data warehouse for large-scale data analytics.

    Amazon Redshift still remains a bit of a mystery to me, even after a whole session on it unpacking loads of its features, possibilities and use cases. Trying to draw some parallels in my head with BigQuery - Google Cloud Platform's own cloud data wharehouse service, which I know well - also didn't help much. So it remains one of those things that now I know a little bit more about than yesterday, but still feels like I haven't even begun to scratch its surface. So one to watch for me, and learn more about. The use case presented by National Rail was great and full of detail too.

  • aws-cloudformation-coverage-roadmap

    The AWS CloudFormation Public Coverage Roadmap

    Implementing Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) using the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) to model your infrastructure seems like a very good option for those like me that are still not much versed on CloudFormation (which the CDK uses under the hood) or Terraform. Watching the live demo expressing some sample infrastructure with just a few lines of Python code was great fun, and I'd love to try that out.

  • aws-cdk

    The AWS Cloud Development Kit is a framework for defining cloud infrastructure in code

    Implementing Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) using the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) to model your infrastructure seems like a very good option for those like me that are still not much versed on CloudFormation (which the CDK uses under the hood) or Terraform.

  • Airflow

    Apache Airflow - A platform to programmatically author, schedule, and monitor workflows

    Automating data pipelines with Apache Airflow was the session of the day for me. To programmatically create workflows in Python that help you run, schedule, monitor and manage data engineering pipelines could not be any more up my alley right now. You know the guys at Airbnb were onto something great when they decided to create Airflow, and then open source it to get a great community behind it. The session had loads of code samples and cool demos too, so it was all a real treat in the end. I'll be diving more into Airflow - and also Cloud Composer for comparison, which is GCP's own SaaS offering of the AirFlow OpenSource product - for sure!
