Has anyone purchased his course? Is it worth it? I really like his content so far

[knezaBG]

a bit odd that you put CloudFront on a "Storage" level, i believe it's more of a global CDN type of service, although i understand the choice since it does behave like a global cache

Hey, I wanted to ask, do you have courses where you show how to deploy a full stack app (frontend and backend) step by step where to deploy the frontend and the backend? is it on youtube or in your other platform, I feel like I do understand the concepts of AWS but I need to know how to use it with confidience and not google almost everything, The most important thing for me is deployment of full stack apps, where to store the frondend, the backend, the database and etc, I would appreciate if you could point me to the course where you explain all of that if you have such course, thanks.

Your videos are incredibly helpful, thank you.

Have you encountered a scenario where you needed to utilize a custom global domain name to connect to a REST gateway from outside of AWS? Initially, everything functions correctly with request signatures. However, issues arise when attempting to connect from within a AWS VPC with peering to the VPC where service behind the REST gateway lives. AWS DNS resolves the global domain name to an internal gateway or load balancer, which possesses its own TLS certificate which lacks the global domain name and TLS validation falls. The security team prohibits the use of cross-region VPC peering. They might also restricted a transit gateway usage for similar reasons. Can you recommend any workarounds or solutions for this situation? Many thanks.

Hi, I have no experience in cloud computing or know how it works. I want to start off by learning AWS cloud. Can you please guide me in the right direction, please ?

EDIT: I have just viewed your course. Is it for beginners who has no experience in cloud and coding? Also what do we get from "AWS Step Functions Masterclass"

[allanbengco]

Instead of using Step Functions to manage the application's workflow, I use CloudWatch to trigger Lambda functions. This is because I feel I do not want to rely too much on many AWS services such as Step Functions to save on cost. Is this an acceptable workflow?

I'm developing a miniproject to upload profile pics. User can ask signedurl to post an image to s3, in the frontend user can crop the image and post the image with metadata that tells how to crop.

then after upload confirmation user will tell the backend that the image was uploaded. The backend will trigger a lambda function written in rust that will pull the image from the receiver bucket, get the metadata, crop, downscale it to a defined height and width, convert it to jpeg with a dpi of 72, then upload to another bucked and delete the original image. (a 1, 5mb png image turned to 45kb).

Why rust? even though rust is harder, deploying a binary to lambda was a lot simpler. The binary was of 3, 9mb.

After that the lambda will tell the backend the process completed, the backend will tell the user to reload it's gallery to see the uploaded image.

It's quite a mess but I'm learning a lot of things and how to integrate a bunch of things together.

The idea is that I can re-utilize this profile pic capability in any future project that need it

Could you please share us your diagram for each video, it would be helpful for us to take some notes
