This year we are three developers representing Jayway at Microsofts Build conference. This blog-post summarizes just some of the stuff we’ve seen on day two of the conference. Microsoft Cognitive Services: Give Your Apps […]
Defining information service infrastructures using AWS Cloudformation can sometimes feel like a double-edged sword. On the one hand it provides us with a high degree of control regarding consistency, on the other hand once […]
AWS Cloudformation is a super-powerful utility for defining entire backend infrastructures. Using it we can declaratively define infrastructure components and their inter-dependencies, then instantiate them all in one go. This provides us with repeatability […]
In this post we’ll setup a simple system for saving EC2 instance hours by stopping EC2 instances in the evening and starting them again in the morning, but the concepts can be applied to […]
AWS Lambda enables you to quickly setup a backend solution for your mobile application. AWS CloudFormation allows you to create templates for your infrastructure that can be versioned controlled. When used together, the CloudFormation […]
In our work we often encounter AWS installations under various accounts. Using the web-based console is straightforward, but for repetitive tasks and more advanced interaction we often rely on Amazons CLI for AWS. (https://aws.amazon.com/cli/) […]
Amazon Mobile Analytics can be used to collect a lot of information. It is very easy to create charts in a custom dashboard but the easy of use means that you are rather limited […]
Bringing up your own cluster has never been easier. The recent 1.0 release of Docker Swarm signals that the Docker team feel that Swarm is ready for production. I've been running a bunch of […]
