• Serverless Data Processor using AWS Lambda, Step Functions and Fargate on ECS (with Rust 🦀🦀)

  There are a few ways to solve this of course but one solution I wanted to explore is using AWS Step Functions (https://aws.amazon.com/step-functions/) to drive the whole process. Step Functions is a serverless workflow orchestration system. One part of it is support for a distributed map mode where you can run many parallel operations over a set of data. There are different approaches you can use to get the list... - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• The Energy Drink Episodes 3: The Step Function Awakens

  If you have ever spoken to me, read anything I've written or listened to any talks I’ve done in relation to Serverless or infrastructure as code, there is a high likelihood that I have confessed my love for Step Functions. Even when unprompted. Putting my biases aside, however, there are some legitimate reasons we can consider using them in our app. If you are new to Step Functions or just fancy a refresher, have... - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• Testing Serverless Applications on AWS

  For context; the web application is built with React and TypeScript which makes calls to an AppSync API that makes use of the Lambda and DynamoDB datasources. We use Step Functions to orchestrate the flow of events for complex processing like purchasing and renewing policies, and we use S3 and SQS to process document workloads. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• Customizing error handling in Step Functions

  If we have to coordinate multiple function calls, we can use AWS Step Functions to orchestrate the workflow. Step Functions integrates with many other AWS services, but here I'll focus on Lambda functions. - Source: dev.to / 12 months ago

• Amazon Ditches Microservices for Monolith: Decoding Prime Video's Architectural Shift

  Amazon's tool was broken into three main components: the media converter, defect detectors, and orchestration. The media converter ran as an AWS Lambda function, converted audio and video streams, and stored the data in an S3 bucket. The defect detectors, also running as an AWS Lambda function, would pull the parsed data from the S3 bucket and analyze the frames and audio for any issues. Finally, the orchestration... - Source: dev.to / 12 months ago

• Low-Code tools & Frontend

  Does any of you use a low-code tool like Retool or Appian? If so, what is the most common use case? Source: over 1 year ago

• Appian Associate Developer Certification help

  Look for use case inspiration in the Solutions area of appian.com and within the AppMarket. See if you can build proof of concepts of some of these. Source: over 1 year ago

• What is best way to create an online responsive database driven website to help manage my small orchard?

  There are low code database driven website creation systems out there at the moment e.g. OutSystems and Appian however they have very limited free trials (e.g. auto-disable after a few days of no use), and then the paid options are again too expensive. Although I will note that they seem to be great in terms of their usability and would be perfect for creating a simple interface without too much diving into code. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Software Engineer role - Transferable or Pigeon-holed?

  My concern however is - the working software isn't a generic language such as Java, C#/C++, Python etc. - it is with Appian (Business Process Management), which is a rather specific low-code platform for developing workflow and automation solutions. The role does have other elements potentially too such as getting hands on cloud and API dev etc. The pay for Appian Developers currently is GREAT due to high demand -... Source: about 2 years ago

• What is low code?

  Platforms like UiPath, Workato, and Appian provide ways to integrate apps and automate the processes that connect and flow between them. - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago
