Turn Your AI Model into a Real Product (Amazon SageMaker, API Gateway, AWS Lambda, Next.js, Python)
Wondering how to turn your Amazon SageMaker AI model into a real product? Whether you’re deploying the model to Amazon SageMaker, Google CoLab, or some other hosting platform, I have felt that it has been rather confusing or nebulous at best to understand how to get the model “out of the cloud” and into a real application that you or your users could use. Together, we’ll call a deployed Large Language Model on SageMaker, LLaMA 2 with our own LLaMA Chat application (a ChatGPT clone) to show you how a real application could connect directly to a model…

AWS x Valorant Champions
Super excited to be bringing you all behind-the-scenes of Valorant Champions this week with Riot Games x Amazon Web Services (AWS)! Last night at the kickoff, we learned a lot today about how Riot Games scaled Valorant across many technical challenges including: scaling a global gaming ecosystem as an ISP / internet network, optimizing for 35ms latency for users around the world, migrating an on-premise server system to the cloud to utilize highly responsive technologies, and solving for the “peeker’s advantage” issue where users with faster internet systems could work faster than users affected by lower bandwidth/latency…
AWS NYC Summit 2023 Talk: Scaling Event-Driven Architectures with Serverless Micropayments (DevChat)
At the AWS NYC Summit 2023, I delivered a 30 minute DevChat to ~200 attendees on how I built an event-driven serverless micropayments system on Amazon Web Services (AWS) for The Capital Platform. In my talk, I discuss: Cases for serverless vs. serverful architectures, How I used LLMs (OpenAI, Google Bard, and Hugging Face) while building, How I built our serverless payments architectures with Stripe and many AWS services, and What our multi-table database design looks like with DynamoDB. Serverless is more than "just Lambda," and this approach, combined with our Infrastructure as Code (Iac) pipeline, has allowed us to stand up features, front-end-to-back-end, with robust autoscaling and updatable configurations, like payments…

Stacking Serverless Data Structures for a Pomodoro App on AWS
Figuring out numeric sort querying using GraphQL of NoSQL DynamoDB data. This was probably the hardest step for me in this project because at the highest level, when you are running a data stream with chaining, you affect one item and it means you must alter the other elements in the chain accordingly. TL;DR: you edit one item, so you must edit the others accordingly…
Wrangling GraphQL Data Schemas with AWS AppSync
AppSync will help you auto-build your queries and mutations based on the schema you define in your schema.graphql file. Not only does this reduce the possibility of errors in production, but it also increases your ability to turn code around faster with code generation (codegen) and auto-build sequences to configure the database, storage, and authentication privileges in the cloud based on your API endpoint in a matter of minutes. So what happens if you come across an issue where you don't see the /graphql folder in your application…
Build an Inspirational Quote Generator (AWS, NextJS, TypeScript, NodeJS) - 6 HOUR CLOUD PROJECT!

AWS Amplify CLI Installation Guide (M1/M2 2022 Mac Edition)
I ran into a core issue where I needed to use sudo in front of all of the AWS Amplify CLI commands, which meant I would have to put in my password EVERY SINGLE TIME I ran amplify something. I hope that this guide helps you get up and running with AWS Amplify, especially if you run into the Error: EACCES: permission denied errors that I ran into…
Learn how to Dynamically Add App Features with AWS AppConfig Feature Flags (+ Linux 101)
In this blog post, I'll go through the workshop, the code I used to run everything, screenshots of the deployment process, and I will also go through how to use Linux and an Amazon EC2 instance to deploy all of the code in a VM (virtual machine). What we will build is a simple Airbnb-for-Cribs home rental application and switch in an image viewer carousel for each listed home via AWS AppConfig. Here's what it will look like (unfortunately, IRL mansions are not included)…

How to Build Serverless Workflows with AWS Step Functions and AWS Lambda Functions
Gone are the days where you'd have to spin up physical servers with your own hardware and maintain it to build and run your own apps. Thanks to the AWS serverless suite of tools, we can now run full-stack applications, and even functions and compute power, right from the cloud. Today, we're going to be building a full-stack serverless Age Sorting Application. We'll discuss how to use various AWS tools, such as API Gateway, AWS Step Functions, AWS Lambda Functions, and connect them to a ReactJS front-end user interface so that we can take in user inputs and algorithmically filter the input based on what we tell the code to look for…
