The Business Compass LLC Podcasts

In today’s fast-paced digital environment, businesses are constantly seeking ways to optimize their applications for efficiency and scalability. Serverless computing has emerged as a transformative approach that allows developers to focus on building applications without worrying about infrastructure management. AWS (Amazon Web Services), the leader in cloud computing, offers a wide array of serverless technologies that provide flexibility, cost-efficiency, and high scalability.

In today’s fast-paced Agile development environment, software teams need tools and practices to ship features rapidly without compromising quality. One such tool is feature flag management, which allows teams to toggle features on or off in real-time without redeploying the application. AWS AppConfig provides an effective solution for dynamic configuration, especially when managing feature flags across multiple services and environments. In this podcast, we will explore the role of feature flags in Agile development, the advantages of their implementation, and how AWS AppConfig can simplify feature flag management.

APIs have become vital to modern applications, enabling seamless integration between services. FastAPI, a modern web framework for Python, is particularly popular for building fast APIs due to its asynchronous capabilities and performance. It is powered by Uvicorn. This podcast walks through deploying a FastAPI application with a custom domain, secured with SSL using Let’s Encrypt, hosted on AWS EC2, and served via Nginx.

When managing software updates on Ubuntu, particularly on EC2 instances or cloud environments, you might notice that APT (Advanced Package Tool) uses unencrypted HTTP connections by default for downloading updates. This podcast explores the reasoning behind this default behavior, the security measures in place, and best practices for ensuring secure software downloads.

Terraform is a widespread Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool that allows developers to define cloud infrastructure using declarative configuration files. One of its most powerful features is the ability to create and use modules, which package up reusable infrastructure components. When managing multiple EC2 instances or other AWS resources, modularizing your Terraform code improves efficiency, reduces duplication, and enhances maintainability.

AWS EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) is a popular choice for hosting websites or applications on the cloud due to its scalability, flexibility, and ease of use. This podcast will walk you through setting up an Apache Web Server on a CentOS instance using AWS EC2. CentOS, a free and open-source Linux distribution, is widely preferred for its stability and security, making it an excellent choice for web servers.

In today’s fast-paced development environment, securing applications while maintaining high performance and scalability is crucial. AWS CodeCatalyst, a DevOps automation service, integrates seamlessly with various AWS services to streamline secure application deployment. In this podcast, we’ll explore how AWS services like Amazon CloudFront, Route 53, Lambda, ECS, API Gateway, and safe storage solutions such as DynamoDB, S3, and RDS come together with CodeCatalyst to build secure DevSecOps workflows.

In today’s cloud-driven world, identity federation simplifies authentication across various platforms. For organizations leveraging multiple cloud services, integrating a single sign-on (SSO) solution, such as Google as an identity provider, can streamline user management and security protocols. This podcast will guide you through utilizing Google as an Identity Provider (IdP) for AWS, including setup, authentication, and leveraging temporary AWS credentials.

In today’s cloud-native environments, ensuring system resilience is paramount. Chaos engineering, a practice that helps uncover vulnerabilities by injecting faults into a system, has become a critical method for identifying weaknesses and improving reliability. AWS offers a tool specifically designed for this purpose: AWS Fault Injection Simulator (FIS). This podcast will guide you through using AWS FIS to perform chaos experiments, helping your cloud infrastructure withstand failures and perform optimally under stress.
