As web applications grow, scaling database performance becomes crucial. One effective strategy is to implement read-write splitting, where write operations (such as INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE) are directed to the primary database. At the same time, read operations (such as SELECT queries) are routed to replicas. This approach improves the efficiency of database interactions and enables better load balancing and high availability.
In this podcast, we will explore how to set up PostgreSQL read-write splitting using Docker to create a mock Aurora PostgreSQL cluster, HAProxy for load balancing, and SQLAlchemy in Python to manage read-write query separation.

AWS Lambda has revolutionized how developers build and deploy applications by introducing a serverless computing model. Managing infrastructure, scaling, and provisioning traditionally required significant effort and planning. With Lambda, these complexities are abstracted away, allowing developers to focus solely on writing code. Lambda automatically scales and executes applications in response to predefined events, making it an ideal solution for many use cases, from microservices to real-time data processing.

As businesses increasingly turn to static websites for simplicity, security, and performance, ensuring an automated and secure deployment process is paramount. GitOps—a model combining Git with operations—allows us to define infrastructure and deployment processes in code. Integrating GitHub Actions for Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) and leveraging Terraform with OpenID Connect (OIDC) for secure cloud authentication offers a streamlined, scalable solution. This podcast demonstrates how to securely deploy a static website on AWS using GitHub Actions, Terraform, and OIDC.

Kubernetes has become the go-to solution for container orchestration, and Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) is one of the most popular managed Kubernetes services in the cloud. However, managing credentials and access controls within Kubernetes clusters has historically been challenging. Early solutions required attaching IAM (Identity and Access Management) roles directly to nodes, which needed granular control. This process evolved with IAM roles for service accounts, but even that had its limitations.
Enter AWS EKS Pod Identity, a streamlined, AWS-native solution that simplifies credential management for Kubernetes pods. This podcast will help you understand and implement EKS Pod Identity to enhance security, automation, and control in your Kubernetes clusters.
