Severless Application with Node.js, & AWS CodeStar and Cloud9




Instructions: Here
Technologies;
  1. Node.js
  2. AWS CodeStar
  3. AWS Cloud9


Node.js is running Javascript on Chrome's V8 engine that is event-driven. I used it quite a bit in the past year without actually understanding what it truly does - Run Javascript without a browser. Including applications that use JS.

According to the instructions above, Cloud9 is an IDE (Integraded Development Enviroment) where you write, run, and debug code of popular programming languages.

CodeStar builds and deploys the applications:

"Create service role?" "Why yes, I believe I will."
The above image is from the instructions linked above.

On the project template page, I pick Node.js:



Then I name it 'nodejs-serverless-project' 'serverless-brooklyn'


It's not as if the name prevents the tutorial from working, right?

And I select AWS CodeCommit.

CodeStar will set up a complete integration pipeline (While monitoring with CloudWatch), Commit helps with version control, CodeBuild will build and test, CloudFormation will deploy to Lambda.

Here is the project dashboard for serverless-brooklyn;



AWS made a commit to the master branch;




Here comes the fun part!



And this, this, is the ... coding area;


Reminds me heavily of Visual Studio.

Let's move into the correct directory. Fun fact - the instructions on the page actually changed to incorperate my project name.


Changing some things in the HTML up here.



Let's see if anything has changed; Changes are marked in red, the file named.



If you know about git, you know what we do next - Push it, comment it. As I didn't initialize this with my GitHub account, I don't and simply close the resource. We're here to learn, not to get charged.

EMPLOYERS: More things with Node.js - Who wants to be limited to a browser all the time to run Javascript?

Making KPI Dashboards with PowerBI

 While this is the free tier, I cannot share or collaborate with others, nor can I publish content to other people's workspaces, but they will not stop me from screenshooting and recording these self-taught adventures,so! I'm doing this because I idly searched "Mattel careers" and "Information Technology", and seeing a bulletpoint saying the following: Analytical and reporting skills such as creating dashboards and establishing KPIs such as experience with PowerBI, Cognos, Tableau, and Google Data Lake/AWS is preferred And thought "Well, I've used Tableau, and I've heard about PowerBI,  even if its in-demandness is questionable , so how similar is it? And can I write about it?"  First, PowerBI (PIB) does have a downloadable, local version, but apparently Windows-only. I could download the .exe but I couldn't run it / drag it to applications on my MacBook.  Not a problem, we'll use the online SaaS version, and a dataset found here, ...

Connecting IoT Devices to a Registration Server (Packet Tracer, Cisco)

 If you're seeing this post, I'm helping you, and you probably have LI presence: React and share this post to help me in return.   In Packet Tracer, a demo software made by Cisco Systems. It certainly has changed a lot since 2016. It's almost an Olympic feat to even get started with it now, but it does look snazzy. This is for the new CCNA, that integrates, among other things, IoT and Automation, which I've worked on here before. Instructions here . I don't know if this is an aspect of "Let's make sure people are paying attention and not simply following blindly", or an oversight - The instructions indicate a Meraki Server, when a regular one is the working option here. I have to enable the IoT service on this server. Also, we assign the server an IPv4 address from a DHCP pool instead of giving it a static one. For something that handles our IoT business, perhaps that's safer; Getting a new IPv4 address every week or so is a minimal step against an...

AWS Infrastructure Composer

 A very brief look. The text says; Drag and drop any CloudFormation resource on a visual canvas Connect and configure enhanced components to automatically build IaC for an application architecture Seamlessly transition between authoring workflows visually with Step Functions Workflow Studio and defining resources with Infrastructure Composer Integrate your browser with your project through “local sync” or use Composer in the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Code In 2019 there was a similar tool to build infrastructure that would be converted to code. Nice to know they bought it back. When you enter the Composer, it's a blank space with a background reminiscent to the screen for Cloud Formation. Infrastructure Objects are to the left in a drawer;  I've selected a bucket that I can rename. I went to connect a bucket to a Dynamo DB Table, and it's not available yet. It also lost a bucket somewhere in the ether of the GUI. Ah well. I couldn't find the EC2 instance in the...
