Hi I’m Vishnu Prasad

This article is the continuation of one (link) of the previous articles, where I explained how to handle partial batch failures in SQS when using it with AWS Lambda. At the time of writing that article, there was no native way of handling this. Two feasible methods were, either using a batch size of one or deleting each successful message after processing. Quick Recap On, What Happens If One Of The Messages In The Batch Failed To Process....

Recently I had a requirement at work to run a cron job every 10 sec or 30 sec to poll some third-party API to pull some data. There will be more than 40 of these cron parallelly to fetch different sets of data from different APIs. The first obvious option would come to a serverless first mindset which I have is to run these on lambda functions. The only native way in AWS to run the Lambda function is to have an Event bridge trigger with Cron expressions....

The OSI Model defines a networking framework to implement protocols in seven layers. OSI stands for open system interconnection. It was introduced in 1984. Designed to be an abstract model and teaching tool, the OSI Model remains a useful tool for learning about today’s network technologies such as Ethernet and protocols like IP. This model is divided into 7 Layers. The data communication on the OSI model starts at the Application layer of the sender side and goes up to the physical layer....

What is RDS Proxy Many applications, including those built on modern serverless architectures, can have many open connections to the database server and may open and close database connections at a high rate, exhausting database memory and compute resources. Amazon RDS Proxy allows applications to pool and share connections established with the database, improving database efficiency and application scalability. With RDS Proxy, failover times for Aurora and RDS databases are reduced by up to 66%, and database credentials, authentication, and access can be managed through integration with AWS Secrets Manager and AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)....

Introduction Cloudwatch is an integral part of the AWS ecosystem. Every service in AWS reports to cloudwatch for the service logs, application logs, metrics, etc. In this article let’s discuss the cloudwatch custom metrics in detail. Metrics help us with finding the performance of the AWS services and the applications we run using these services. It also allows us to visualize the data with graphs and dashboards and create alarms based on the data reported tho metrics....
