Experience
- (MAC) Multi Account Command (Development)https://github.com/bryanlabs/mac
With this, you can quickly interact with one or many AWS accounts without the complications of swapping access keys or environment variables.
- Application in the Cloud (Development)https://github.com/bryanlabs/appincloud
A suite of AWS tools (CloudFormation, CodePipeline, CodeCommit, CodeBuild, Elastic Beanstalk, RDS, EC2) to manage the network, database, application, and continuous deployment for your application which enables you to focus on developing your app.
- Serverless Website (Development)https://github.com/danbryan/bryanlabsweb
Danbryan.info is a serverless website written in Go and HTML. All of the static assets are stored in S3 and all HTTP requests hit an API gateway that then responds with a Lambda function. CloudFront is then used to provide quick content to end users in their geographical region. Anytime a change is made in the source code, a pipeline runs to invalidate the cache in CloudFront.
