As part of my new job I recently published a detailed guide on connecting a Raspberry Pi to AWS IoT Core. If you’d like to learn more about setting up hardware like a Raspberry Pi and options for securing connections between IoT devices and AWS then check it out!

I’m excited to announce that I have not one but TWO new Pluralsight courses! Both Collecting Data on AWS and Storing Data on AWS are now available on Pluralsight!

Serverless development can speed up your development process a lot by moving infrastructure responsibilities over to cloud providers. However, when testing your application, it can be a challenge to mimic all the cloud services you’re relying on.

One useful tool to help do this when you’re writing Python code is moto. In this post, I’ll show you how to use the moto module in combination with pytest to help test your Python code when it interacts with AWS services like DynamoDB, S3 and others.

This is project 15 in my Twenty Projects in Twenty Days series! This time, we’re looking at how to create an AWS HTTP API with Python. This will be the Python version of yesterday’s project where we created a Surveys service API to track three entities - customers, customer surveys, and survey responses. Let’s get started!

As project fourteen of my Twenty Projects in Twenty Days series I’ll show you how to create an AWS HTTP API with Node.js. We’ll design it around the same serverless survey service that I’ve previously shown using Express.js and using Flask. It’ll be used to track three entities - customers, customer surveys, and survey responses. Let’s get started!
