Intro I’ve been fooling around with pulumi for a bit now, and thought I would write about it here. I have had an API gateway that is backed by a lambda function in terraform for quite some time. I use it quite frequently to spin up infrastructure when I need to perform testing on integrations. I eventually decided to re-write this in pulumi. TLDR If you just want the code - it’s here:...

Intro As many of you know, I’ve been using Pulumi for a while and I am a big fan. Today, I’m going to walk through creating an application using the digital ocean app platform. Why digital ocean? A lot of people will wonder “why digital ocean”?? the answer is simple. It’s extremely well integrated, and this makes it very compelling to use. The digital ocean app platform Today I’m using the digital ocean app platform....

Intro As many of you know, I’ve been using Pulumi for a while and I am a big fan. Today, I’m going to walk through creating Kubernetes in digital ocean. Why digital ocean? A lot of people will wonder “why digital ocean”?? the answer is simple. It’s extremely well integrated, and this makes it very compelling to use. I’m going to walk through creating a simple kubernetes cluster (with three nodes), and then deploying a simple application and load balancer to the cluster....

Intro As many of you know, I’ve been using Pulumi for a while and I am a big fan. Today, I’m going to walk through creating resources in digital ocean. Why digital ocean? A lot of people will wonder “why digital ocean”?? the answer is simple. It’s cheap, fast, and has most of the services I need. As always, as this is my first digital ocean post, I will start with a simple virtual machine, or a droplet in digital ocean terminology....

Intro I last wrote about an API gateway and lambda function in AWS. I wanted to expand on that and walk through the lambda function in more detail. TLDR - The github repo Th lambda function can be anything, but in my case it takes a JSON input and passes certain fields to another API endpoint. This is most useful for being able to perform transformations on data. You can clone the repo with all of the working code here:...

Intro I do a lot of building various platforms for various reasons. I do this as part of my day job, I also do it as part of some open source projects that I work on. I work through building various stacks and infrastructure for things. Today I am going to share my scaffold for AWS API gateways and lambda functions using terraform. This has served me well, and can be adapted to different styles of deployment....

Intro I’ve been fooling around with pulumi for a bit now, and thought I would write about it here. This is the third in a series of posts where I create the exact same infrastructure using pulumi in YAML, Python and Javascript. What is it? Pulumi is an infrastructure as code framework with a twist. You can use any language you like in order to write your code (within reason)....

Intro I have been exploring serverless platforms in various guises for some time now. This post is about the serverless framework. I recently came across it as part of my day job and it’s good enough and simple enough that I thought I’d write about it. What is it Serverless framework The serverless framework is a way to deploy serverless functions on AWS. This means a couple of things: Serverless only...

Intro I have been working on an open source project called Project Tetsuo. Part of getting serious about it is doing some of the scaffolding that open source projects have. In this post, I’ll talk about working through the process of making signed commits to my codebase. Why Essentially a signed commit is a commit that has been cryptographically signed and validated. This is a good thing to do. It gives people confidence that the commit has come from an authenticated source....
