• How To Convert a Lambda to a Step Function
  2 projects | dev.to | 14 Jan 2022

  The first step (😉) of the State Machine is to make that external API Gateway call. I wasted a lot of time on this because it's not super well documented in the case of dynamic / proxied URLs. It seems like in most cases you'd use a POST with a body to hit an API Gateway to a pre-defined / static URL that points to a Step Function... and if you do that you can skip this first PASS step. There's also an open GitHub Issue related to this which is why I ultimately created the lib/ModifiedCallApiGatewayRestApiEndpoint.ts. The regular CallApiGatewayRestApiEndpoint method can't make use of JsonPath expressions to extend endpoints. What that means is in order to make use of my userId path parameter I need to first do a data transformation and then hack it in via the modified class.

• Developer sabotages his own apps, then claims Aaron Swartz was murdered

  Parts of this have been linked to here over the past week or so, but I don't think the full picture was discussed yet. Even ignoring the conspiracy aspects, it's another set of packages where a change in the upstream has had an effect on a number of other projects.

  One example (linked in the Ars piece) is the AWS Cloud Developer Kit: https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/issues/18323

• What NPM Should Do Today to Stop a New Colors Attack Tomorrow

  It broke a ton of other people’s projects, on purpose. You can argue that he could have done much worse — say exfiltrating all of the AWS credentials from CDK users – but there’s no definition where it’s not an abuse of trust to sabotage your users.

  You meant CDK (aws-cli is written in Python) but it’s not that simple: they shipped a lock file which pinned 1.4.0 but while NPM honors that the popular yarn package manager does not:

  This floating behavior allowed for it to be overridden locally:

• Self Managing Dedicated Server on AWS for $5/month
  3 projects | reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame | 4 Jan 2022

  After posting my early experiences hosting Dedicated Server on AWS, u/twitu reached out to develop an automated script to set everything needed up with (more or less) a single command using AWS CDK.

• How to create a queue processing Fargate service using aws-cdk ☁️👀
  1 project | dev.to | 4 Jan 2022

  It is important to set the upper scaling step to {"upper": 0, "change": 0}. This is because when the task takes the last message off the queue we do not want any change to occur to the service. If we set the change to be -1 the service will try to tear down the task whilst it is processing the last message. So it is key that when there are 0 messages on the queue we do not kill our task. We will solve this issue with CPU alarms later. See this link for an ongoing Github issue.

• How to build a temporary email application?
  1 project | reddit.com/r/webdev | 2 Jan 2022

  How I might do it: make a CDK construct which receives email via SES, publishes to an SNS topic, which has a a lambda subscriber, which writes the contents to a dynamodb table, with a TTL field ten minutes in the future. Then make an API which reads emails from the dynamodb table, and a website which hits the API and renders emails in the browser. Easy 😬

In this post, we'll walk through what that experience is like so you can feel comfortable adding any AWS resource to your next project, not just the ones offered directly through the CLI .

• How to migrate CDK v1 to CDK v2 in 10 minuets
  1 project | dev.to | 9 Dec 2021

  There are three parts I gotta modify as you could see the list above. And about point 3, before #issue17860 is resolved, you just follow what I've done, otherwise, you may fail even executing yarn build. In my CDK application, there are four .ts files under the lib directory, do you modify one by one? You might ask. My child, that is feasible yet you may start doubting why you have an infrastructure role and why you are here at the moment you're migrating. I usually count on VS Code for programming, both services and infrastructure. And you got take advantage of the Replace All function in VS Cod., That will save your life, trust me.
