Severless Application with Node.js, & AWS CodeStar and Cloud9

Instructions: Here
Technologies;

Node.js
AWS CodeStar
AWS Cloud9

Node.js is running Javascript on Chrome's V8 engine that is event-driven. I used it quite a bit in the past year without actually understanding what it truly does - Run Javascript without a browser. Including applications that use JS.

According to the instructions above, Cloud9 is an IDE (Integraded Development Enviroment) where you write, run, and debug code of popular programming languages.

CodeStar builds and deploys the applications:

"Create service role?" "Why yes, I believe I will."

The above image is from the instructions linked above.

On the project template page, I pick Node.js:

Then I name it ~~'nodejs-serverless-project'~~ 'serverless-brooklyn'

It's not as if the name prevents the tutorial from working, right?

And I select AWS CodeCommit.

CodeStar will set up a complete integration pipeline (While monitoring with CloudWatch), Commit helps with version control, CodeBuild will build and test, CloudFormation will deploy to Lambda.

Here is the project dashboard for serverless-brooklyn;

AWS made a commit to the master branch;

Here comes the fun part!

And this, this, is the ... coding area;

Reminds me heavily of Visual Studio.

Let's move into the correct directory. Fun fact - the instructions on the page actually changed to incorperate my project name.

Changing some things in the HTML up here.

Let's see if anything has changed; Changes are marked in red, the file named.

If you know about git, you know what we do next - Push it, comment it. As I didn't initialize this with my GitHub account, I don't and simply close the resource. We're here to learn, not to get charged.

EMPLOYERS: More things with Node.js - Who wants to be limited to a browser all the time to run Javascript?

Connecting IoT Devices to a Registration Server (Packet Tracer, Cisco)

In Packet Tracer, a demo software made by Cisco Systems. It certainly has changed a lot since 2016. It's almost an Olympic feat to even get started with it now, but it does look snazzy. This is for the new CCNA, that integrates, among other things, IoT and Automation, which I've worked on here before. Instructions here . I don't know if this is an aspect of "Let's make sure people are paying attention and not simply following blindly", or an oversight - The instructions indicate a Meraki Server, when a regular one is the working option here. I have to enable the IoT service on this server. Also, we assign the server an IPv4 address from a DHCP pool instead of giving it a static one. For something that handles our IoT business, perhaps that's safer; Getting a new IPv4 address every week or so is a minimal step against an intruder, but it is a step. There are no devices associated with this new server; In an earlier lab (not shown), I attached them to 'H

Building, Breaking, and Building A CRM with Retool

I like no- or low-code solutions to things. I've often wanted to simply push a button or move some GUI around and have the code implement itself. I've thought about building something that's like a customer relationship management (CRM) system for keeping up with my network better than my little spreadsheet where I click links and then go like something. The general idea in this CRM Development is: To have a GUI to add people to a NRM (Network Relationship Management). Attach it to a database (MySQL is what I went with eventually using Amazon Relational Database service, but you can use PostGRES, and probably others). Make sure components are connected to each other in the retool interface. This video is a good start. Watching the tutorial video, heard some SQL commands and went 'Oh no 😳" before going "Wait I know basic SQL", which is good, because you'll see. When you get set up, there's a plethora of resources you can use -- Incl
