Hey, I'm Jimmy

Reaching a global audience often means providing content in multiple languages. In this post, I explore how I extended my event-driven blog pipeline with automated translation capabilities using Amazon Nova Pro, enabling my technical content to reach readers in German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese.

Writing technical content as a non-native English speaker often means spending significant time proofreading for spelling and grammatical errors. In this post, I explore how I extended my existing event-driven blog CI/CD pipeline with automated proofreading using Amazon Nova and Amazon Bedrock, seamlessly integrating AI-powered text correction.

Taking our authorization system to the next level! In this third part of our series, we're enhancing our Amazon Verified Permissions (AVP) solution with Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC). By combining RBAC and ABAC, we get a powerful authorization system that can enforce fine-grained access based on user attributes and context - perfect for multi-tenant applications where access control needs to account for more than just roles.

As authorization needs evolve, managing access efficiently becomes even more crucial. In this follow-up post, we extend our Policy Decision Point (PDP) and Policy Enforcement Point (PEP) solution by introducing Amazon Verified Permissions (AVP) for fine-grained authorization. Instead of storing permissions in DynamoDB, we leverage AVP’s centralized policy engine and Cedar policy language to define and enforce access control dynamically.

Authorization is a critical part of securing cloud applications, and understanding the best practices for implementing it can make all the difference. In this post, we dig deep on the concepts of Policy Decision Points (PDPs) and Policy Enforcement Points (PEPs), and how they work together to manage user access efficiently. We dive into a serverless solution using AWS Lambda and API Gateway, implementing Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for fine-grained access control based on Cognito User Groups. This solution ensures scalability, low latency, and efficient authorization in serverless environments.

Secure communication is a important in IoT systems, where certificates and trust play a vital role. In this post we extend the API introduced in part 1, we will add functionality to create device certificates, introduce an inventory, add some event-driven parts, and the possibility to list and get certificates. This hands-on approach is great for learning purposes and development environments, production setups however require robust managed solutions.

Secure communication is a important in IoT systems, where certificates and trust play a vital role. In this post, I explore the foundations of certificate management, including PKI, certificate chains, and trust. Also I introduce a serverless self-service API using Amazon API Gateway and Lambda for an easy way to create certificates. This hands-on approach is great for learning purposes and development environments, production setups however require robust managed solutions.
