Notes to my future-self about how to configure React.js frontend guarded by AWS Cognito to securely communicate with backend based on Serverless Framework (AWS Lambda behind Api Gateway).

Issues I bumped into during restoration of a PostgreSQL backup.

Root cause of a weird ’linux/arm/v7 not supported error'.

Imagine your code waits for some external system to respond. Easy to deal with non-serverless world where you have your application running 24/7, right?

In this post I’ll describe how you can use SQS for serverless job triggering.

AWS Systems Manager (formerly SSM) allows you to define secure, encrypted variables that you can read from other processes. Here, I’ll shortly discuss how to define such encrypted varible and read it from AWS CodeBuild.
