Expert AWS Development

Integrating Applications with AWS Services

Sometimes you have to integrate your existing on-premise resources with cloud services. This is known as the hybrid cloud. It will help you achieve business goals without investing more in on-premises hardware and software. AWS provides hybrid capabilities for networking, storage, database, application development, and management tools for secure and seamless integration.

In this chapter, we will integrate applications with various AWS services such as Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Kinesis, Amazon Lambda, Amazon SQS, and Amazon SWF, which are highly available and fully managed by AWS.

Amazon DynamoDB is a fast, fully managed, highly available, and scalable NoSQL database service from AWS. DynamoDB uses key-value and document store data models. Amazon Kinesis is used to collect real-time data to process and analyze it. Amazon Kinesis comes with...

Amazon DynamoDB

The Amazon DynamoDB service falls under the Database category. It is a fast NoSQL database service from Amazon. It is highly durable as it will replicate data across three distinct geographical facilities in AWS regions. It is used for applications which need consistent, single-digit millisecond latency. Its reliable performance and flexible data models make it suitable for web, mobile, gaming, and IoT applications. DynamoDB will remove the burden of administrating operating and scaling databases. It will take care of software patching, hardware provisioning, cluster scaling, setup, configuration, and replication. You can create a database table and store and retrieve any amount and variety of data. It will delete expired data automatically from the table. It will help to reduce the usage storage and cost of storing data which is no longer needed.

Amazon DynamoDB...

Amazon Kinesis

The Amazon Kinesis service is under the Analytics product category. This is a fully managed, real-time, highly scalable service. This service is used to collect, load, process, and analyze real-time massive-scale data. It can collect and process massive-scale data from multiple sources in real time. You can easily send data to other AWS services such as Amazon DynamoDB, AmazaonS3, and Amazon Redshift. You can ingest real-time data such as application logs, website clickstream data, IoT data, and social stream data into Amazon Kinesis. You can process and analyze data when it comes and respond immediately instead of waiting to collect all data before the process begins.

We will cover the following topics:

  • Amazon Kinesis streams
  • Troubleshooting tips for Kinesis streams
  • Amazon Kinesis Firehose
  • Troubleshooting tips for Kinesis Firehose

Now let's explore...

Amazon SQS

Amazon SQS is a fully distributed, highly scalable, reliable, and managed message queuing service. Amazon SQS is easy to scale and decouples microservices, serverless applications, and distributed systems.

This service will help to create message queuing applications and store messages in transit between distributed systems. This application can run on any computer.

With Amazon SQS, you will not lose any messages when you move data between application components, without requiring that each and every component will be available.

Amazon SQS will help you focus on creating and building robust and sophisticated applications without concentrating on how to store, manage, and retrieve messages from any volumes.

Amazon SQS has two types of queues:

  • Standard queue: This queue is available for all regions:
    • At-Least-Once Delivery: Message will be delivered a minimum of once...

Summary

So far, we have completed implementations, examples, and best practices for different AWS services using AWS SDK.

In the next chapter, we will learn about the different phases of the release process in Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) workflows. It will include the four major parts of CI/CD: source, build, test, and production.

Key benefits

  • •Design highly available, cost efficient, fault tolerant, and scalable distributed systems
  • •A practical guide that will help you build, deploy, and manage applications with ease.
  • •Develop effective solutions with AWS SDK and Lambda

Description

Expert AWS Development begins with the installation of the AWS SDK and you will go on to get hands-on experience of creating an application using the AWS Management Console and the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI). Then, you will integrate applications with AWS services such as DynamoDB, Amazon Kinesis, AWS Lambda, Amazon SQS, and Amazon SWF. Following this, you will get well versed with CI/CD workflow and work with four major phases in the release process – Source, Build, Test, and Production. Then, you will learn to apply AWS Developer tools to your Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) workflow. Later, you will learn about user authentication using Amazon Cognito, and also how you can evaluate the best architecture as per your infrastructure costs. You will learn about Amazon EC2 service and will deploy an app using it. You will also deploy a practical real-world example of a CI/CD application with the Serverless Application Framework, which is known as AWS Lambda. Finally, you will learn how to build, develop, and deploy the Application using AWS Developer tools such as AWS CodeCommit, AWS CodeBuild, AWS CodeDeploy, and AWS CodePipeline, as per your project requirements.

Who is this book for?

This book targets developers who would like to build and manage web and mobile applications and services on the AWS platform. If you are an architect you will be able to take a deep dive and use examples that can be readily applied to real world scenarios. Some prior programming experience is assumed along with familiarity of cloud computing.

What you will learn

  • • Learn how to get up and running with AWS Developer tools
  • • Integrate the four major phases in the release processes: Source, Build,
  • Test, and Production

Most of the code is in Java, the text is like a copy and paste from the docs and sometimes for some actions there are actual links to the focs insted of a clear explanation.I didn't finish the book, but I will update.

This book is basically product overviews of N aws products, could have been lifted off their marketing pages. Nothing in-depth. Nothing expert about it.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.
