For my next show, coming up this Friday at 3pm ET, you can expect to hang out with me as I wind my way through building a simple generative service using Go and AWS Lambda.

I'm gonna be doing a live-stream this Friday on Twitch. It will be just myself, sitting at the desk you see in the photo above, talking about building stuff on AWS for about 90 minutes. I've been thinking of doing something like this for a while.

I'm building a thing. I'll write more about that thing in the near future. But, in the meantime, I thought I'd write a little about one small other thing I learned along the way. The thing I am building has two main components. 1.

Wow, that title is a mouthful. Here's what it means: * You can use AWS SAM to easily construct at Serverless Application on AWS where the AWS Lambda code is written in Go * You can deploy your app to AWS from the CLI with sam deploy which is nice

A while back I created a repo on GitHub that was simply the output of doing sam init and choosing the AWS Quick Start Template for a Hello World Example. From there, I simplified the SAM template.yml file a little, restructured the folder where all my Go code lives,

So, now that the dust has settled, and I have some time to set up a more efficient method for backing up my Mastodon server, I figured I'd try simply dumping my PostgresSQL database and saving it to S3.

Yesterday I took a poll to find out what would be most interesting to write about. I will abide by this poll.

I worked this out a while back using TypeScript, but for some reason I decided I needed to redo this in Python. So, here it is. This is simply a CDK application that deploys an Amazon DynamoDB table called “Tickets” as well as a single AWS Lambda function with a

Mastodon appears to be a really good copy machine, and makes cache copies of all kinds of image files, videos, and avatars based on the accounts you follow.
