Teaching Claude to Teach AWS
A friend had been building a web app with Claude Code — Express server, vanilla HTML/CSS/JS, in-memory data storage. The app worked and kept growing. But it was running on her laptop with no deployment, no database, and no auth. She needed to get it to AWS and had limited experience with cloud infrastructure. I couldn't see her code, so I built a Claude Code plugin that could walk her through the deployment. The plugin analyzes an Express app, converts routes to Lambda functions, sets up S3 +

Deploy AWS Lambda with Terraform without storing the Zip archive
Terraform is a great tool but managing AWS Lambda is arguably not one of its strength. In this post I'll describe one approach that I follow to work around this limitation.
Automate database backups with AWS Fargate, S3 and CDK
I love how Serverless enables simple solutions to common DevOps tasks: in this article I describe one simple way to automate MongoDB database backups using AWS Fargate, S3, and CDK.
Setup free WHOIS monitoring to avoid unwanted domain expirations with Serverless on AWS
A few days ago I forgot to renew one of my registered Internet domains which I believed was set to auto-renew and received a few alerts when affected services started to fail. I hence took the chance to setup a simple and free monitoring solution to avoid incurring again in this same problem once and for all. Powered by AWS CDK, Python and WhoisXML
Add free performance monitoring to your websites with Lighthouse and AWS CDK
Google's Lighthouse is a powerful free resource that helps developers build performant, accessible and SEO friendly websites. Here I show one way to make use of Lighthouse to add performance monitoring for web pages using Serverless components on AWS.
Setup Atom/RSS feed as event source for AWS Lambda invocation with CDK
In a previous article I described how to develop a serverless event-driven application to automate social media updates. Now I show how to make use of RSS/Atom Feed and AWS Lambda + CDK to add the missing bit and make it 100% automated.
My journey to serverless and back
So I've had some experience with the whole "serverless" thing over the past few months. A few cloudflare workers, a netlify function here or there to spice up a static site. But a full-on serverless function based project was not something I'd had experience with, until now.
Setup AWS Lambda-to-Lambda invocations between CDK Stacks
With CDK is easy to organize AWS resources and share them between Stacks when needed. In this article I show you how I split an `api` Lambda in two, one for handling the API Gateway requests and the other for sending messages to an external notifications service.
Automate social media status updates with AWS Lambda, SNS and CDK
In the previous article I introduced AWS Cloud Developer Kit and wondered if and how to make use of code abstractions when designing IaC. Today I show you one way to extend the previous codebase and deploy a typical event driven (pub-sub) serverless application built with Lambda and SNS.
Introducing AWS CDK with a real life Lambda and API gateway example
After successfully replacing Terraform with CDK in a real life project I take the chance to wrap up the new knowledge along with some Terraform vs. CDK kind of considerations. I also synthesize the acquired know-how in a mini tutorial based on the actual code used in the production scenario.
Remaking my curriculum vitæ with modern web technologies
